Vivid murals line church’s walls, display religious history
A block away from the newly renovated Waco Convention Center stands a building that looks like it was plucked straight out of the 1600s. Heavy wooden doors positioned beneath and between the carved likenesses of Catholic saints lead to a cavernous room filled from floor to ceiling with historic and meaningful artwork.
Cattle statues more than decor, tell historical story

DIY: Tree of Life Necklace
When I saw this necklace on Etsy, I immediately wanted one, but I was not going to pay $75 no matter how much it was calling my name. So I Googled the name hoping to find some instructions on how to make one for myself. I found a YouTube video with step-by-step instructions. The YouTube video explains this DIY the best, but I’ve tried my best to write out the steps and include what I did differently.
DIY Project: Love Birds Diorama perfect for Valentine’s Day
I found this cute DIY project on Pinterest, though its original source was the blog House of Humble. I was looking for something to decorate my apartment for Valentine’s Day, and to take my mind off the fact that I’d be spending the day at work instead of being romanced, I decided to take on a project. To save myself some money, I adapted the project to incorporate things I already had in the house. I’d give the project a medium difficulty rating. It requires a basic knowledge of sewing, and I recommend being careful with the hot glue gun. Apart from that, it was pretty straightforward.

BU lecturer creates shining spiritual icons
Carol Perry is a Baylor lecturer who does things a little differently.
Perry is a full-time lecturer in journalism, public relations and new media. When she’s not performing her instructional duties, however, she’s connecting with God in a way that many Christians have never even heard of: she’s writing icons.
