It showed him as a young, strong man, smiling. He looked like a working man. I liked that. I think I saved it, because I liked it so much. I'll look for it for you.<BR/><BR/>Also _ being passed around the Internet and in e-mail I have seen some pencil sketches of Jesus with children. They also seemed very representative of His nature to me. I'll see if I can find those, too.<BR/><BR/>Bless you both.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00581437979305348621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1806349182507781639.post-91294273656647064732007-08-22T19:11:00.000-07:002007-08-22T19:11:00.000-07:00Julia, I read your blog because I also read your b...Julia, I read your blog because I also read your brother's excellent columns in the Portland Oregonian and he mentioned you. I agree with your comments about bad pictures. Two recommendations:<BR/><BR/>(1) I Googled the words "icon" and "Jesus" and clicked on images and got several; I like this one very much (but it looks like the URL is too long so I'm going to put some spaces in it -- just remove the spaces and paste): http://www.rejesus.co.uk/ expressions/faces_jesus/ gallery/sinai.html <BR/><BR/>(2) If you have access to the wonderful book "The Faces of Jesus" (text by Frederick Buechner), that might give you and Veeka a few useful images as the years go by. I'm rather fond of "Christ over New York City," painted on a slatted steel door, pg. 225 in the book.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your writing, your work, and your mothering . . .Linda Goertzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13074603509899538527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1806349182507781639.post-36267048294783654392007-08-17T12:10:00.000-07:002007-08-17T12:10:00.000-07:00J, doesn't the commandment 'bout graven images com...J, doesn't the commandment 'bout graven images come to mind? :) Or, I could provide a photo of a human(s), whom God mysteriously uses to work His will....<BR/><BR/>Blessings!DVZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14743839619731962961noreply@blogger.com
