Everywhere you go there are Salvation Army Santa's ringing bells and collecting whatever you care to give. They do not give receipts for tax purposes. If you only give to charities that are tax deductible you probably think these folks are a nuisance. However to give from the heart even a little is so much better. It feels good to know that you gave to help homeless people and displaced folks during this season of hope and joy. I don't even look to see which bill I give them. I tuck it into their bucket and thank God I am not in need of their services this season. We all helped with dishing up a Salvation Army Christmas dinner one year. The kids were in their early teens and we have to travel 45 miles, but that was a memorable Christmas. We felt so privileged to go home to our warm beds and full fridge after seeing so many children come to eat at this dinner. We also brought along baked goods to add to the larder of food. Giving when you hear the bells is good and loving response. Let us enjoy this season of love, joy, peace and giving. Thank you for watching and listening to the bells.

*Mandelbrot and Friends Animated Digital Art*
*Mandelbrot, Benoît*, (1924–2010), Polish-born French mathematician. Mandelbrot is known as the pioneer of fractal geometry.
Fractal art is ancient. Since geometry was recognized as a science and a mathematical equation put into pictorial form.
This is ALL of the Mandelbrot fractals I have on my app, Incendia. So I added a little something to blend them and see what happens. Very pretty music to accompany these dancing fractals.
Enjoy and relax. This is your 2 minute vacation away from the craziness of the world. Thanks for watching and commenting. Have a blessed day.

A beautiful contemporary Gospel song with soul. About the Word of God. What is means to a believer. Not just verses in a book to be memorized or quoted, but the WORD OF GOD. Words you can live by daily. Words put into actions by believers with the help of the Holy Spirit.
I can not make these videos alone. I have help from the Holy Spirit. Everyday I pray for those who do not yet know the Lord. I also pray for true believers who have to face hurt, ridicule and even jobs because they believe in Jesus.
Let not your heart be troubled for Jesus is with you always even to the end of the age. A paraphrased verse from the Bible. What joy, peace and comfort His Word gives me. I want to let everyone else know the joy I feel when I read or hear His Word. There is more to being a saved true believer than a baptism. There is the Holy Spirit immersing you in His light and love.
Where do you find His love? In His Word. May the Lord bless and keep you in His peace forever. I Jesus Precious Name, Amen

*Behold the Lamb of God* *BEHOLD JESUS LOVES YOU* *read*
Jesus was born in a grotto used to feed animals and stable them temporarily. He was laid in a feeding trough meant for the stable animals. He was laid upon hay with bundles of cloths beneath him.
This was the first of HIS MIRACULOUS LIFE!
He was more than a baby worshiped by shepherds and kings. He was and IS the SON OF GOD!
This passage is one of my dearest: John the Baptizer tells ALL who this baby from Bethlehem was, who this Nazarene was, and what HE would do;
*John 1:28-30* 21st Century King James Version (KJ21)
28 These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 The next day John saw Jesus coming unto him, and said, *“Behold, the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world!*
30 This is He of whom I said, ‘After me cometh a Man who is preferred before me, for He was before me.’
May the Lamb of God bring you peace and life abundantly. In His Name, Amen

One of favorite things to do on Christmas is to drive thru our neighborhood and surrounding areas and look at the lights. Many people go to extreme lengths to make their house very lit up. The ones I love best are the Nativity Scenes that are lit up. Some have all blue lights like the night sky over Bethlehem. Others are multi-colored extravaganzas. This is fun for us and we like to see the different decorations from one block to the next. December lights remind us of the Light of the World, the Baby Jesus. Thanks for watching. JJ :D

*Rings w Loops* *Abstract Animated Art* *Sound Effect Music*
If you love to play around with sounds and music you will like the medley I created using sound and music. Some of it sounds crazy and the rest is off the wall. There are sweet notes too. The abstract art is doing all manner of wild gyrations and even folds in on itself. THANK YOU FOR WATCHING! JJ:)

Some folks go to warm tropical places for the holiday season. The usually live somewhere it snows and is cold. Perhaps Americans will jet off to Hawaii. In that state the weather is always beautiful and there are so many beaches and gardens and tropical flowers and animals that anyone can have their holiday in a type of paradise. This is the first of 2 videos about what you would see if you go to a tropical island for your holiday. Thank you for watching. Enjoy your day. JJ:)

The real phrase in Latin is Deus Ex Machina, meaning 'god from the machine'. The term has evolved to mean a plot device whereby a seemingly unsolvable problem is suddenly and abruptly resolved by the inspired and unexpected intervention of some new event, character, ability or object.
Many people have asked me how do I make these. I tell them what programs I use and that the ideas just sort of come to me. The real plot twist here, is that God helps me. Not just with Christian videos, but with these. The more people who see and enjoy these videos just might watch the Christian messages on Sunday.
Even if only one heart is touched it is a win win situation for them, for me and for God. My job is to bring the message of hope and love to others. They have the free will to accept it, reject it, or just ignore it. On Thursday, Friday and Sunday there will be Christian videos depicting the activities of Holy Week. This time when Jesus goes from being worshipped with palm branches and Hosanna's ringing loudly, to Crucify Him. It is hard to imagine that people can change so quickly, especially at a time when there was no way to get information from one person to another at the speed of sound. But it only needed a few bad people to start the mob chanting. We have seen this in many modern day situations. Calm normal individuals can be changed in only a few moments by mob mentality. The mob is no longer individuals with rational minds but screaming hordes, many of whom don't even know why they are saying what they say.
Please follow thru with the Passion of the Christ the rest of this week, even if you are not a believer. It may explain why this world is growing darker and darker everyday. Thank you for watching. JJ

*Summer Butterfly Flowers* *Animated Digital Art*
There are flowers and plants that attract butterflies. However butterflies are pollinators. That means that they can spread pollen to enough species as to proliferate the species of flower or plant that they like.
They are attracted to the nectar flow in a floral body. But best of all they are so beautiful it is easy to see why they are so popular as an artistic endeavor and they are just so amazing to watch.
Thank you for visiting my channel. Have a peaceful and happy week. JJ:)
