Moreau was imaginative. I recall he delivered some fine work illustrating the demise of John the Baptist.

Mary-Lou, was I right about even/especially an art major liking this?

C. Austin Miles was commissioned to write a song of comfort for all types of circumstances. As he contemplated what he would compose with Bible on his lap, he saw a vision of JESUS in the Garden with Mary.

Following the vision, he penned “In the Garden”. The verse and melody never changed.

So, this song is an interpretation of JESUS and Mary in the garden as well as a song of comfort for believers.

In the Garden

I come to the garden alone,
While the dew is still on the roses,
And the voice I hear falling on my ear,
The Son of God discloses...

And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own,
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other, has ever, known!

He speaks and the sound of His voice,
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing,
And the melody that he gave to me,
Within my heart is ringing . . .

And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own,
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other, has ever, known!

And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other, has ever, known!

Consider that it is a poetic description of an actual affair. And that God purposely developed our feelings to match His affections for the Church that we can perceive His love for the church in a description of actual human event.

Thanks.

God purposely developed our feelings to match His affections

Certainly, He created us in His image.

Nowadays, when I hear love songs I realize they have their genesis in the love God has for us, and whether we reciprocate.

Your tagline certainly fits you! Here is a related verse I'm sure you know which is dear to me:

No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.
Hebrews 12:11

Just ran across this site

https://www.craiyon.com/

You can put in words such as “Jesus, cubist, fantasy art, Rembrandt” or any number of words describing what you want depicted , and I. What style, how realistic you want it etc, a d it will render some really interesting art for you. Caution, you might end up spending hours and hours trying to get jusy the right combo of words.

Start off by trying “snails, eyes, horror, fantasy art” for some pretty neat results. Some word combos render work better tha others. It seems to,have a little trouble with faces sometimes, so pick scenes over single figures like say “Mona Lisa, Salvador Dali, ultra realistic” (that one didn’t look so good)

It takes about 1 mi ute per rendering, so keep.that in mind
