Sailing

If you look at my work you will see several recurring themes.
The most important ones relate to my faith.
In today's pictures you will see the first representation of a sail boat.
Not only did Jesus sail in boats and walk on water
but I have sailed and felt free in the wind as well.
Being confined to a chair restricts what I can do but someday I will have a ressurected body just like Jesus and I will know what it is to be truly free.

Check out these lyrics from Leonard Cohen's song Suzanne

"And Jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching
From his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him
He said "All men will be sailors then
Until the sea shall free them"
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
And you want to travel with him
And you want to travel blind
And you think maybe you'll trust him
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind."



Best wishes
DAVID

I WANT TO HELP PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES DISCOVER AND USE THOSE GIFTS TO HELP THE CHURCH REALLY BELIEVE THAT EACH OF US IS MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD, JUST AS THE BIBLE SAYS.

MY HOPE FOR THE FUTURE

January 8, 2006
Dear Friend
My Name is David Watson I'm 40 years old, I'm have cp. I'm a handicapped person. I'm living in London. I feel London has pretty good bus system for everyone but London needs to have more buses and taxis for special services. I like to see wheelchair taxis in London. If you vote please tell the poiticians to help with this.
I feel people need to look up to God because he loves you. My goal is to help people know God's love. I do this by using my art.
I call what I do Dave's Designs.
I want to see Dave's Designs help the handicap everywhere. I love God because He is my best friend and He can be yours too. God wants your love. Jesus love you. Jesus is coming for you. I love Jesus and the Father because they both are God.
I feel God is your Dad, I'm his boy. I feel God is a good perfect man. Even if your own Dad was not so nice to you, you can trust and love our Heavenly Father.

I really would like very much to work and support myself. I had a busines making shirts but I needed some help and it was too much.
I like to do it again and have my art used on shirts, mugs, and prints. I also would like busineses to use my designs for their logos or their promo material.
If you are a good charity and are helping people, especialy people with handicaps, then you can ask me and then maybe use it for free.


I feel London needs to have Dave's Designs in London.

God Bless Everyone!
PS.
Please look for a special post around the week of Jan 23. I will show you a picture of myself and my logo......the double D in a dove's breast.
Look for it.
