Welcome to Outdoor Wednesday hosted by Susan! For today's post I wanted to share a rock that has been painted by a
TEENAGE BOY in rural Iowa. This HUGE rock is near a gravel pit on Hwy. 25. For generations, kids have painted slogans, names, & even obscenities on this rock, changing it's character many times. A few months back, the rock received it's latest paint job & since then it has been left undisturbed.
That beautiful flag looks like a real flag draped across the rock but, it's really part of the
ART & is
PAINTED onto the rock.
Here is another side of the rock. I love the saying on this side "We will not waver; we will tire; we will not falter; & we will not fail. Peace & freedom will prevail" Oh how I pray that is true!
And after just passing the anniversary of 9-11 how can this side of the rock not just touch your soul at it's very deepest part?
Is this the most AMAZING thing you've seen?
THANK YOU
VETERANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And here is the AMAZING young man that created this true work of art. THANK YOU Ray
Sorensen you are a gifted artist & a true patriot at heart. THANK GOD we have young people that understand what this young man does & can share it in such awesome ways. GOD BLESS AMERICA!
