Title: Palms Journey (Click on the image for a larger version.)
Biblical Scripture:
“God says to them build homes and live in them, grow food and eat its fruit, have children and encourage your children to have children. God does not want uncertainty and despair to paralyze our God-breathed creativity." —Matthew 21:1-11

The Faith Story: The Journey (Another Interpretation)
It evoked such strong feelings I couldn’t see the details. There is a storm coming and the winds are strong and erratic. The storm is widespread. Once you told me the title I noticed the palms and coat on the ground. The artist used the story from John, which is the only one indicating the involvement of the people IN Jerusalem. By the time we reach Jerusalem the green in the clouds at the top has been replaced by red and the farther we move into the city the more intense the red becomes.
It’s a disturbing picture that I have to be in the right mood to look at. Very good for this form of meditation.
