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.

Wonderful, Grammy. I, too.
Glad to hear it. Thanks.
Glad you think so. Will try to keep it up on YouTube.
Congratulations!
I will miss you here...but you needed to take the Bible art to a larger audience.
I will not be able to comment on the youtube site as I am not a member of that community. I visit but do not join.
It seems as if you are cropping the artwork in order for it to fit the new format. I understand that you may not have an option.
Best of luck to you. And thank you so much for being so generous to us.

Sorry to lose you, K. As you know, I have appreciated very much your intelligent, Spirit-filled posts.
None of the artists has complained so far about my cropping. Of course, all of them are dead, so it would be surprising if they did....
Thank You Dan. It’s been a blessing.
I look forward to your youtubes.
Good, xp!
God bless and Godspeed to bringing your work to the larger audience. You helped form my faith, and I know you will continue to help others similarly.
Thank you! I always enjoyed.
That is the hope, and God is able.
Wonderful.
