Napkins are things we use and discard
every day. Life can so easily be discarded as well.
"A Sketch in Time" takes the idea of a discarded napkin
and redeems it through the art drawn upon it. Take comfort
in knowing that God specializes in Redeeming the Discarded.
Build a Snow Savior?
"For to us a child is born, to us a son is
given, and the government will be on
His shoulders. And He will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."
( Isaiah 9:6)
