God has prompted me to take this series, and the Gospel, to a wider audience--indeed, to a global audience. So, I am ending this FreeRepublic series and moving to YouTube, effective immediately.
The new series is called
I expect this is the final post of The Bible In Paintings series, the 979th. I am indebted to many people. Most fundamentally, of course, none of this would have been possible without our gracious and benevolent host, Mr. Jim Robinson. Thank you, sir!
Mary-Lou (Left That Other Site) provided excellent technical help and moral support in the early days. Her example, posting complex daily threads year-after-year, inspired me and continues to. Thank you, friend!
There is another, whom I am enjoined from naming, who worked many, many hours behind the scenes, finding me more art just for the joy of it. Although I cannot name her, if you know, you know. She knows she is my eternal sister, and the Spirit and I intend to collaborate on a beyond-beautiful stained glass fenstergarden in her corner of heaven.
I dare not single out the many other cherished individuals, because one can never adequately list everyone who deserves that accolade. But those of you who joined in—you know who you are—we had fun, didn’t we? And we shared so many profound biblical truths—I’ve learned so much! I must say, the most pleasant surprise for me, aside from the lack of theological rancor, has been the warm camaraderie, good humor and biblical earnestness of so many of you who have become a godly community around these Bible stories. I leave behind the Archives for future reference.
Finally, a word about the future. God called me to this endeavor nearly four years ago, but along the way I’ve discovered that He has been preparing me for it all my life; that is, I find that the qualities needed to do this are precisely those He has most instilled in me. And now that His Spirit has taught me how to do this, He wants more: I must head out of Jerusalem to the uttermost parts of the earth. YouTube can do that, so I’ve taught myself how to use video-editing software. But I cannot do both FR and YT, and the fields there are white for harvest. So, please pray that I allow the Holy Spirit to do what He wants.
May God bless you and keep you.

I hope this mission is very impactful. I just subscribed.
Will you recreate Sainte Chapelle for me? Or I will leave it to your creative inspiration!
As do I, of course. But my job is only to deliver the loaves and fishes as best I can and then to leave the impact to the Multiplying Feeder, to do with as He determines.
Wow!
As you wish, Your Highness, as you wish.
Yep!
I just saw the “I expect this is my final post” and my heart dropped. And then I read on. God has used you in a mighty way. Count me in on your next adventure. May God richly bless you, I have used your thread in preparation for Sunday School classes and my Women’s groups. I hope accessibility will still be possible to your trove of Spirit-led work. So many have benefited. See you on You Tube.
Super Idea Dan !
Voice over commentaries work well for me.
.
Good Luck !
Thank you for so many outstanding posts!
Thanks for the series. Has been very inspiring and educational. Looked forward to it many a morning, if you can’t post a youtube link here on FR then I will try to YT thing.
Thanks again.
What a blessing Dan! Our senior adult group life class will get every one of these! Go Dodgers!
I use the same images on YouTube which are in the Archives.
As I told Debbie, thank you, Pat, for your marvelous support!
Hope you are blessed by the new idea, Red.
It’s always been my pleasure.
Wonderful. Thanks!

Thanks so much for all your wonderful work here! May God bless your future work.
He certainly is intimately involved in it, at every step along the way. It is beyond exciting to be assisting Him.
Super!
