Dear Etc. And I appreciate your respect of us and I promise you you will receive respect. Jane. We both missed her. There is nothing sweeter than meeting and knowing and appreciating this Godly woman. To appreciate her is to appreciate her maker. Seriously. I believe that I owe you an explanation. I go crazy when I feel I am being coerced to view images that I know will disgust me. We all get them. Emails that are from a foreign site seemingly popping up out of no where. Lust is like viewing a replication or original painting without knowing whom the artist is that painted the creation. I've been to the Reich Museum in Amsterdam and seen Van Goethe's works. Up close his paintings looked like big globs of paint to me. No beauty there. But then you start backing off..backing off, the painting becomes alive, ,alive...the colors become vibrant, the people become real, the objects take on 3 dimentions, then the canvass starts to talk to you , then sing to you then the orchestra starts up then you can smell the flowers as they become living. I weep for those individuals caught up in these images on the internet. I see broken lives, desperation, urges that are no longer controllable. I see people. But who made them all. Is not the artist more worthy than the canvass or the oil paint. Should not the creator be sought after more than His creation. What would you really desire more. To see a Van Goethe or to meet Van Goethe face to face. To see a Rembrant or to meet Rembrant. But then God even ups the ante one more time..He says what would you really desire more to see a Van Goethe painting or to have a personal relationship with Van Goethe...and He ups the ante again. See a Van Goethe painting or have a relationship with Van Goethe himself for all eternity, and then he finally upped the ante one last time at the cross. See a Van Goethe painting or have a personal relationship with Van Goethe's maker and creator, for all eternity.In Christ ...gregor
