This was posted before but,I have been working on it since then and still am... we are not immortal here...I would like to share with you while I can. May we all grow in the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. This is a passage from the King James version of the Bible, New Testament. Corinthians Chapter 13 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not Charity, I become as sounding brass, or a tinkling symbol. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge: and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not Charity, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not Charity, it porfiteth me nothing. 4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; Charity envieth not; Charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in truth; 7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things,endureth all the things. 8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 10 when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. 11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then I shall know even as I am known. 13 And now abideth faith, hope, CHARITY, these three; but the Greatest of these is CHARITY. THis passage goes with this Angel. You do not have to like it or my art...that is up to you. I was compelled to create it...out of CHARITY. MAY all our days be blessed with love ...peace to you. Please remember I am still working on this. Sincerely CB

Hi Christine, I see you have updated your picture.. and it is still just as lovely and warm yet there is something very touching about it now.. oh I know what it is.. it's all the love you added.. I can feel your spirit when I look at this.. and thank you for pointing to the Word that tells us the sum of all things.. Charity. This picture reminds me of Saint Francis. There are so many stories told of his love for animals. It also brings to mind Psalm 91.. He shall cover thee with His feathers.. Wow.. this painting is deep and tranquil.. full of spirituality. I love all your work! God bless and cover you..Mohamed TAHDAINI 20 Apr 2006

Words alone cannot convey the emotions I experience when viewing your works! Never doubt yourself or your God given talent; this is obviously his way of spreading his word thru you (at least in my humble opinion). I look forward to the next one! God Bless You!
