What’s New in 2026? Anchor Notes!

The Kedge Anchor

In a post last week I posted some changes coming to the Kedge Anchor in 2026. When I first started this blog, I used to create coloring pages and digital wallpapers to help with scripture memorization. I wasn’t getting much feedback from them so I moved on since they were a little time consuming to create every week. And since The Kedge Anchor is about encouraging others I wanted to go more in that direction. Which lead me to create The Anchor Angel Project, with the help of some inspiration from a friend 🥰. Sooooo I started creating and sending Anchor Notes which are just small images that can be sent via email, text, messenger. Kinda like a meme but these are intentional to anchor truth and encourage others. Some may be humorous or for a special occasion, such as a birthday or holiday. And after starting my YouTube channel making videos and shorts I discovered that that is something I enjoy. You’ll see more to come from that.

Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing. – 1 Thessalonians 5:11

So here’s the first Anchor Note of 2026 from the You Have Been Prayed For series, free to download and share with whom ever you like, just click on the image and save to your device. (If you are on a desktop right click and save)

So every month I will post an Anchor Note for you to download and share.

However, this is not instead of making and sending actual greeting cards but to supplement them. Not everyone we know is connected digitally and those who are might need some old fashioned reaching out. I will still continue to create greeting cards and send them out and make tutorials.

There is more to come. I have some more ideas to share but I’m rolling them out one by one. The older i get the more I don’t like changes. But, I am learning that change is how we grow and sometimes it takes failure after failure to make those changes. I think y’all might like what’s new for 2026.😊

Anchored in Style: The Kedge Anchor Meets Mid-Century Modern

The Kedge Anchor

What happens when you blend the timeless truth of scripture with the timeless style of Mid-Century Modern design?

You get something honest, grounded, and beautiful—just like our generation.

✨ Gen X: Born in the Middle, Built for Purpose

If you’re part of Gen X—born between 1965 and 1980—you know the feeling of being “in between.” We’re not Boomers. We’re not Millennials. We grew up analog and came of age digital. We’ve watched the world change at lightning speed.

But we weren’t an afterthought.
God placed us right here, right now—on purpose, for a purpose.

Like Esther, we were created “for such a time as this.”
We carry the resilience of those before us and the vision for those ahead. And we have something to say.

🎨 Faith Expressed Through Design

For many of us, art is how we speak—how we pray, how we process, how we encourage. And there’s no more fun or nostalgic way to express it than through Mid-Century Modern style.

With its clean lines, calming tones, and energy, MCM feels like a visual echo of our faith:

  • Order in the chaos.
  • Beauty in simplicity.
  • Hope anchored in something timeless.

When we pair scripture with this design style, we’re not just making something pretty—we’re putting truth in motion. We’re taking God’s Word and wrapping it in a visual that speaks across generations. And it doesn’t matter if you’re older or younger, there’s a spot for you. We were all created for a purpose and are placed here in this very moment by God

📖 Hebrews 6:19 — Our Anchor and Esther 4:14

That’s what inspired this visual devotional:

“We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.”
— Hebrews 6:19

“… for just such a time as this? “ – Esther 4:14

In a drifting, shifting world, God’s Word holds. And as Gen X believers, we’re called to share that anchor—with beauty, with boldness, and yes, with a little retro flair.

🎥 Watch & Reflect

Whether you’re a designer, a dreamer, or a Gen Xer rediscovering your voice, this space is for you. Let’s create, encourage, and stay anchored, together.

Please leave a comment how you share your faith and encourage others.
