Ruth Beard's Art Work
In 1997, Ruth Beard and I worked together to create a Book
of Mormon Reading chart. We tried to
sell them with unique T-Shirts she designed and I printed. We were a total failure. We had "Sounds of Zion" carrying
our products for a few months, but never even sold enough to pay for the price
of making them. All these years, I have
kept the design work for "someday" to do something with them. Of course, that was one of the million dreams
that I have had that never amounted to anything. Oh well.
The other day, I was in the Institute Director's office and
saw he had about 100 little "book mark" size reading charts to give
to the seminary students. He dropped on,
and on the back of it was Ruth's art work.
I was shocked. I asked him where
he got that art work. He said he found
it on the Internet and the seminaries have been using that art work for about
five years on the back of their reading charts.
I explained to him where it had come from, it has Ruth's name on it and
it was her work.
It was a miracle to see that Ruth's work has been touching
the lives of many people down here for years and years. It is on the Internet, offered to the
world. I contacted Ruth and she is so
pleased to know that her work is being used, and appreciated. Though we never made any money for the work
she did, and I did trying to get it marketed and sold, the youth down here have
been benefitting from it for a long time.
Another miracle of our mission.
