Jonah's Cure painting

Through a special friend who provided assistance with the first annual Jogging for Jonah race, I got to meet a local artist from Walkertown, Patti Hricinak Sheets.  After Jonah and I got to meet with her, she agreed to do an original painting to help raise funds for DebRA. A lot was going on in both of our lives at the time, but I know God worked to weave both of our stories together.

Patti asked what word I wanted on the painting, and I immediately chose the word Hope. Hope not only for a cure for EB but hope for all who suffer. A hope and promise that someday we'll all be healed. :) We got to introduce this beautiful piece, called "Jonah's Cure," at Jogging for Jonah, and people fell in love with it!

Here are a couple of very short videos about the painting. The first is Patti and the second one is me. I'd love it if you'd take just a second to watch. I love the way Patti explains the painting.
