I'm Too Short

"I'm Too Short" Acrylic 16"x20"

The content of your character is more important than the height of your stature.

I asked one of my students this question: If you could change anything in your life, what would it be?  He replied -"I'm too short."  I cannot play basketball at the college level or in the NBA.  

"I arranged the objects you see in the painting which are at different heights.  Each object has a purpose based on the content in each object - fire retardant, cleaning fluid, or coffee grounds.  If the content is missing or non-effective it makes no difference how high the object stands.  The book is at the lowest level.  Had it been a Bible it would have contained the greatest purpose, to know and follow Jesus, even though it is at the lowest level." James 4:10 "Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up."
