wow, I haven't been around here in a long time and I just decided to check in and wow...you've got lots of stuff around here now, and it's all lovely Aww, thanks! And thanks for stopping by!

WHOOOO!! amen sista! it's awsome to have a christian on this website! keep up the great pics and keep faith in GOD!!!!) Will do

Hm... This used to be Dave Ritcherdson, but is now an L. Mitchell? Hi there. ^_^ Anyway, I'm a Christian as well, and I enjoyed looking at your artwork, tis quite original. Thank you for standing up and having the courage to state what you believe in; that's something that's very hard for me to do, as I'm not very outgoing. Your strength is admirable! Keep up the outstanding work. -Jen. Dave Ritcherdsen is a fake name that I use as I don't like my real name online. Elfwood didn't like that and made me change it.

Glad people actually read the bio

god! I love ur imagination! can i have a bit of it?XP  Hehe, thanks Just draw what comes to mind. If that's a problem, take a normal idea and screw with it a little. You'll get used to it and start to come up with off the wall stuff. How do I mean screw with it? Just draw something, but either add something random or change some part of it to something random. For example, you could draw somebody but give him/her small vaccuum cleaners for hands. Stuff like that.

Hi! I stumbled on to your page through the random thing on Elfwood's homepage. Kudos to your art and your faith in God. Stay strong and blessings to you from another child of God. Seeing your bio and what you said about how you found that you can trust God really made my day. I'm struggling a little with being a better person and serving God more and it's just good to see a Christian in Elfwood.
Keep it up!! Thanks. If you have any prayer requests or just want to talk/ask questions, strawberryriddick@gmail.com

Your work is very good,but I have to admit that some are funny. Thank you! That's why I draw...I love different things!

Wow! Nice work Oh and thank for the lovely comment on my page. Random comment and away! *zooms*Thanks and you're welcome

Right... you read the bible in one night
I am readin it myself right now, I'm on Exodus. I'm not sure about some of the commandments God gave, a lot of, I don't actually believe in God but the bible is an interesting book.

Wow cool art, really different from my gallery, and more extensive. Thanks for the comments you left on mine!

I am technically a catholic

God said he'd help the jews, his chosen people. and look at them.  I put your three comments into one to consolidate. No, I didn't "read the Bible in one night." You can read out of the Bible and refer to it as "read the Bible," in fact, you're the first person I've ever run into who interpreteded it that way.

You can't be "technically" Catholic. Either you believe or you don't. Being baptized Catholic or brought up in the Catholic church or a Catholic home or school means absolutely nothing except that you were brought up in a Catholic environment...it doesn't make you Catholic. You have to BELIEVE in God to be a Christian, you can't just have Christian parents and say that you're "technically" Christian. You even say you don't believe in God, so you can't be Christian, Catholic, or any other religion that requires you to believe in a God. Not even "technically" so.

I know that you haven't tried understanding much of the Bible because of that question about the Jews you have. It's something that you hear people say, people who don't understand the Bible but still ask questions without ever attempting to find an answer. The whole point of that question is to try and denounce someone's faith...you might want to try that with something a little harder to answer next time. God said that as long as the Jews followed Him, they'd be fine. The thing is, do you really see Jews nowadays following God? Lieberman is an example, he claimed to be an Orthodox Jew, but was in favor of gay marriage, a practice shunned by the Jews! Also, the entire Jewish people ignored the coming of their Messiah. It was predicted in Daniel, among other places, the time Christ would be born, what He would do, how He would die. The Jews expected a powerful king who was literally a king, with gold and jewels and thrones and servants. But Jesus was a humble man, working as a carpenter until He was older, and then He walked around with His disciples speaking the word of God. That wasn't the king they expected, so the Jews didn't believe that Jesus was the Messiah. Now, if God tells you when Jesus is coming and to follow Jesus, and then you don't believe it, does that sound like you're following God's word? No. So since the Jews still aren't following God's word, they're getting attacked.

Also, that question is one that's very ignorant of what's going on to people of other faiths, as well as of other races or opposing genders. People are oppressed in one form or another all over the world. People die because someone doesn't like the color of their skin, or knows what country they come from, because they know what religion they are or that they are deviant to the norm in some fashion. To say that the Jews are the only people enduring hardships is ridiculous.

The Bible IS an interesting book because it's a very good historical document. People say it isn't because, for some reason, they don't like to hear that the Bible and science aren't mutually exclusive. But there's all kinds of things we find in the Bible that we dig up later. Heck, look at the order God made the earth and what lives in it, then look at the archaeological evidence. Even evolution says that there was water, then plants, then water creatures, land creatures, creatures in the air, and lastly humans.

Thanks for the comments on the gallery.
