Welcome !

Here at The M.A.D. House Artists we feature our art and events, our friends' art and events, some history, a little about our lives and especially our menagerie. When we started out we were asked to describe what we do. Our son said, well, you promote the arts. And we said, we do a lot more than promote - we create and participate in all forms of art, and he immediately said, The Grand Lake Artistic Chaos Foundation. And so it is.

The Sermons of Dr. Robert R. Ball

At the request of the author, and with great pleasure, we have presented several of Dr. Robert R. Ball's 1970s series of sermons from Memorial Drive Presbyterian Church in Houston, Texas. At the 2010 Joyful Noise choir reunion and conference it was a joy to discuss with Dr. Ball the theology approached in this series of sermons and the subsequent effect they have had on the lives of the young people who heard them.

Each sermon presented in this context comes from copies collected, carried, preserved and studied by TEENAGE congregants, who have incorporated this thinking into their lives (we are currently in our sixties). Dr. Ball wanted to share these for the edification of the new generation and the revivification of the older one.

Presbyterianism being primarily a volunteer organisation, Candace naturally volunteered for this happy duty. It is an honor to revisit the foundation of her whole philosophy and theological outlook.

Along with many others whose lives Dr. Ball touched and enhanced, we would like to add our respects at his passing on January 15th, 2022. A scholar and a gentleman, and a lifelong friend. May your memory be a blessing.
