"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.“(Matthew 11: 28-29)

Welcome! A few years ago, I discovered an application that artists employ in their works to bring cultural awareness to their audiences. Having discerned this semiotic theory that applies to literature, music, art, film, and the media, I have devoted the blog,Theory of Iconic Realism to explore this theory. The link to the publisher of my book is below. If you or your university would like a copy of this book for your library or if you would like to review it for a scholarly journal, please contact the Edwin Mellen Press at the link listed below. Looking forward to hearing from you!

"Today if ye will hear His voice..."


"..Today if ye will hear His voice, harden not your hearts..." (Hebrews 3: 7-8)


I hear the song that the Heavenly Father sings.

His tones of everlasting Love and Peace 

reach my senses through songs of the birds,

early on this wintry day. 

Their strength and perseverance,

their feathered bodies, puffed from the frigid air, 

reveal joyful exuberance throughout the day.

Thus, through prayer, 

the Lord shows me Hope is always present: 

touchable, embraceable, palpable, making me able 

to move through this day 

humbly, energetically, thankfully 

in fulfillment of His promise.
