Ok so I felt like checking out the chat rooms just now and in the bible study room there is an argument between one guy and the others in the room about whether hell is really a place of torment or simply a place separate from God... no thank you. :p

My son who is 19 told me to prepare myself because his friend (who has become a member of our family, calls me his 2nd mom etc) has something to tell me and he was very nervous. Well he came over last night to talk. His GF is pregnant.

He is a year younger than my son, a senior in HS, is intellectually gifted and earned and scholarship to a great university next year, and was very active in his church but over past 8 months has allowed his part time job to interfere with church (I have talked to him about this)

He was worried I would be dissappointed in him. All I could think to do was hug him and say that my love for him doesn't change or diminish during times when I fear for him, or am disappointed in his choices etc..

I didn't know what to say to him as it wasn't the time to have lengthy discussions but I was blind sided and it was very late. Now I am still at a loss and overwhelmed with what God would have me do with this.

He decided to not accept the scholarship and attend a local university. He said they were not going to get married and move in together. He is going to work more hours immediately even while going to school....so many choices ..

Praying for wisdom on how to counsel, witness, and support this young man who is like a son to me.

Just throwing this out there... have they considered putting the baby up for adoption? There are a lot of couples out there who are ready and have been waiting for a chance to have a child but can't have kids on their own.

That sounds lovely.
 
Did you ever see a picture of yourself and think, I need to lose some weight? Then immediately crave chips and salsa.

Finally took some pics :) The first one is a panoramic so I could fit the whole thing in there, but then it distorts the size, hence the second picture (to show more of the size). I apologize for the terrible quality. This took me 9 hours a couple weekends ago, free-handed it all and mixed the colors myself (besides the darkest color).

I actually did another mural today in my guest room. I'll post that one tomorrow when it's all done and dried. :)

Thanks Zero for the thoughts. At this point I am not sure what they are considering. I am just going to tread lightly and move forward with His direction, whichever way that takes me.
 
Visited a gallery yesterday, and the guy there, asked where I was from. I was from the area, and so he asked what brought me in because he'd never seen me before. I told him I just found out there was a gallery in my area, and I wanted to check it out. Of course, he had to ask where I found out about the gallery, because it's important for business owners to know this stuff. I told him I was running a blog for artists, and that I'm an artist, so I thought it would be a good idea to check out local galleries. I found him online.
Good choice of words I guess, because he asked to see my work. *excited squeal*... Yeah, I talked to gallerist about my art, for a good half hour yesterday, and he liked it! I was just half-heartedly doodling, and he liked it enough to tell me that when I have a few pieces that I'm serious about, he'd like to see them.
I'm scared, excited, and amazed at myself.
 
If I ever witnessed to someone, it would be something like this:

*I walk up to a classmate. I give them the happiest, cutest face ever and speak in the sweetest voice*

Me: Hello, do you have a minute? I wanna talk to you about why you are a wicked, black-hearted scum who is subject to the pits of hell, where bugs crawl into your eyes and fire burns your flesh off and you will suffer for all eternity :3 *creepy grin*

*Classmate runs off screaming to the opposite direction*

Yeah...I would be TERRIBLE at witnessing.
