Jeremy, I would love to see the Medusa you carved! Can you post a picture?

Odysseus, it is evidence to me that the Universe responds to need
regardless of what church one belongs to, and that it addresses us in the ways in which we are capable of receiving the message.

I drew that, Jeremy, to put in a bag of emergency supplies

required by the school, in case of emergencies in which kids would have to remain at the school a while.  Food, extra clothes and some sort of comfort item.  They are thinking about earthquakes in this area, that could prevent parents from coming to the school to pick up kids.  Some areas are divided from others by rivers that would probably lose their bridges in a significant quake, and it's conceivable that families would be separated for a while.

Charlie was in kindergarten at the time.

do you still have a web page where you sell your art? i ask because i have a few carvings i mean to sell on ebay. maybe your site would be good, too, to sell. though, it is the bidding on ebay that i would like to try. 

i finished a medusa mask last night very much like the picture you posted last year.

Ciel -- I delved into this area of study a few years back
Some inescapable conclusions do eventually present themselves. All of these personas (some are based on multiple persons or there is some uncertainty surrounding their lives)  . . have either influenced to a great extent, or have subsequently been influenced by the most successful of their genre; in the bible and the story of Christ. The conclusion I came to after studying this was that the bible itself is a condensed work derived from the influence of all of the messiah's and prophets that existed prior to its creation as a cohesive document.

have you seen monty pythons life of brian?  the people are following him, he says "i am not the mesiah" a person replies "only the mesiah would deny he is the mesiah" and all agree.

and ozzy sings of a black mesiah. most of his music seems to be in that frame.
