No paintings of Ruth and Boaz?
61) Rahab and ??? (We all have something a little dodgy in our family tree ...)
62) Escape Herod? Not sure what you’re driving at with this one ...
63) Three gifts: Gold (for a King), Frankincense (for God), Myrrh (for a sacrifice, also for the Holy One who would not see corruption).
64) Jesus (who he didn’t want to baptize)
Intriguing and exquisite.

Sorry I was obtuse.
No worries ... The pictures made it obvious ... and I should know better. You’re doing good, here. Keep it up.
Your whole series of posts demonstrates the purpose of Sacred Art: to teach visually the Truths presented in Sacred Scripture. For most people, images are more memorable than words.
Also, my answer posts are a sort of “stream of consciousness” ... no criticism is intended. You’re just seeing my sometimes strange thought processes and occasional confusion.
Swell!
So far, for three-and-one-half years, my efforts have been limited to FreeRepublic. Soon, I may have an announcement about the Holy Spirit broadening that outreach.
Okay. I thought you were listing all of Jesus’ ancestors.
Nope, just the hookers....
If you say so....
Maybe you might want to take the caps lock off?
Just saying.
Thanks for the feedback. After more than 1,000 posts, yours is the very first such complaint—although others may well have thought so, too.
So, even as I was beginning to despair, it appears my devious Plan to Attract Caps-Haters has finally caught someone! What a joyous day you have made it!
I maintain a log listing those who comment on these threads, and I note that you have not appeared on it before now. Anyway, as long as you were here, did you at least scroll down the thread?
It wasn’t a complaint.
Just a suggestion.
And yes I scrolled through the pictures of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
I’ve been experimenting recently with these threads’ headlines. We’ll see. The Holy Spirit gets the last word.
