This is beautiful! I really like that wave in front

A good start , I want to see where you take this

I've got the blues.... but they aren't nearly as pleasing as these are.

are they twins? this is too cool lookin Paul, really nice job
PS for your name, postscript and perfectly sane ;)

Thank everyone so much. As far as the little dots....I didn't put each one on there by hand. I used texture tools. When I am able to get back on the drawing applet (sucky computer right now, can't get java) I will explain a bit how I did it.

I seriously want to go cuddle toilet paper now...
O___O;

cool

How lovely Dave, Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Merry Christmas :)

:0) Merry Christmas

While you were gone, my sister had cancer, I can relate, how is your brother?

Clint is in complete remission (he has both types of Lymphoma), but I accredit it first to God, of course, and second to his diligence in taking all of the horrible chemo and radiation torture they put you through. He did that, went to work (as a state trooper), never complained (and I mean NEVER, not in front of me, anyway) and still managed to be a wonderful husband and father to his 3 children, and was also there for me when I needed him. He's my Hero... I admire him, look up to him and love him so very much. :) It's not a complete death sentence like some people think it is, but I know it can be horribly frightening... I was terrified we would lose him. How is your sister doing, now?

She got through it too, hope it never returns.

I love the 'painterly' look of the clothes!

I always know when they're your drawings from the thumbnail. :-) I'm ready for Christmas!! :D

ho ho very nice!!

the strokes are really nice~ i really enjoy the different use of colors ^^

if your feeling is as you say, maybe you can be as forgiving as he was...?
I do not know. It takes ALOT of concentration for me to find answers I need that way.
I wish you luck, nevertheless, in whatever path you choose.
All I really remember of my particular religion is reading the entire bible when I was about 7.
Since, I have had my own son and now they have much more comprehensible bibles :)
So, I took the wrong rd., nevertheless... and this is what I got. ok? Just think about that and go with your own personal instinct, that's my opinion. Throws hands up.....;)

the most important thing to remember, in my opinion..is to always remember He will never give up on you.
Many things are difficult, if not impossible in this realm, to understand about the mind of God. That's where Faith comes in....and trust.
The timing of God is perfect. I believe this now more than I ever have. Just always know that He loves you, and created you to be who you are, and has a plan for your life.

When my son was O D' ing on Crack and Heroin at age 14, I could have screamed where were YOU GOD! But, it was Him who saved his life. Him that carried ME, too, through that hell. Now, 8 years later, my son is fully committed to being clean/sober and has turned his will and life over to the care of God. He says he's the happiest he's ever been in his life since making the decision to serve Him.

I believe in miracles. The impossible becomes possible, with God. I hope you find your way back to Him, too.

The particular passage you are speaking about was set in the time of the Church at Corinith. This was a church just starting out. In this church, the women sat on one side of the church and the men sat on the other. When something was said that the women didn't understand they would call out to their husbands and ask them what it meant. That was when Paul wrote this in the bible, addressed to this church. That was how my preacher once explained it to me and it certainly makes sense. If you will study the Bible a little more, you will find that there are many women in the Bible that preached the gospel. I think one of them was Phoebe. I hope that helps you some. Please don't give up on God! God won't let go of you if you will look to Him. :o)
