About me Gloria who creates this blog as a public service

This is a personal logo for me that I made using a computer graphics program on one of my computers.

This is one of my photos of the U S flag I photographed on walkabout to remind all I am a U S citizen with all civil liberties including freedom of Press, freedom to worship THE LORD GOD, and freedom to associate with whomever I want or not to associate with those GOD labels "abomination" and freedom to protest governments.


 This is my hand on one of my christian cross necklaces in selfie from 2014 to remind all that I am Southern Baptist Christian and do not make nor worship images of GOD, and do not bow down to any idol or man-made thing in keeping with GOD's commandment in Exodus chapter 20. Also, my hand looks red because I was in strain trying to photograph my hand outstretched and keep camera still. I am a white woman, see selfies of me on other blogs of mine.  20:13, KJV.


You can see more of the art and photos I create on these blogs of mine and I have updated most of these in the past week with art I made. Each is different:
