#8 is very powerful
our deeds can haunt us

[Hebrews 11:6]

Powerful indeed. That is the picture God used to start me posting these threads.

[SisterK]

Oh my. And the artist has no idea of the ripple effect of that one image.

I can see where it could shock you into finding more art to add layers and to stretch your meditation of the Word.

Then what a blessing to us! It is delightful to use art to jump off into spontaneous Bible study, to consider other interpretations, and to leave images to ponder.

I thank You, and the Lord, that all the pain in that one image has led you to bless so many.

[Hebrews 11:6]

I am astounded at what He is doing. Then again, that is His specialty.

[Maudeen]

Wow. . .the Jael photos are definitely going to be used Sunday during my Women’s Group. We are featuring Deborah and Jael.

[Hebrews 11:6]

We are featuring Deborah and Jael.

Couple of tough gals!
