It is not only Christians who can paint with beauty, nor for that matter only Christians who can love or who have creative stirrings. Even though the image is now contorted, people are made in the image of God. This is who people are, whether or not they know or acknowledge it. God is the great Creator, and part of the unique mannishness of man, as made in Godís image, is creativity. Thus, man as man paints, shows creativity in science and engineering, and so on. Such activity does not require a special impulse from God, and it does not mean that people are not alienated from God and do not need the work of Christ to return to God. It does mean that man as man, in contrast to non-man, is creative.- Francis Schaeffer

I saw this in a store but it was too expensive but I couldnt get it out of my head. So a few weeks later i went in again and talked the girl down on the price. I told her this angel was meant for our church...she agreed. Now she is at rest in our building where she belongs.
