Vliegermolen Windmill, Voorburg, Holland

 
Drawn earlier this week at Voorburg in Holland. Twas so cold I ended up sketching with my gloves on. Brrr.

Still, I was able to finnish it off in the evening infront of a roaring log fire.

I had fun that day too filming storks and herons in flight, and photo-ing a whole heap of other stuff.

Virtual Prayer Cloaks

Taken a while to finnish this sketch off. Started thinking of various expressions of prayer we use.
People have asked me in the past why I use candles, there is nowt theologically significant in lighting a candle - though the bible mentions incense of prayer floating up. Nope, I like candles. they can be used as a platform, get you in the right frame of mind.
The other question floating through similtaneously was why sometimes we 'lay-on-hands' in prayer, or 'reach-out' towards the person we are pray for. Again more hooks on which to hang our virtual prayer cloak.

We are instructed through God's scriptures, Romans 12:12 be faithful in prayer 1 Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing.

Thinking through the day, if everything you do is prayer, prayer without ceasing; wonder at the many different cloak hooks on which you hang your offering of prayer.
