Hello All:

I am taking History of Western Art this term, a class I’ve been wanting to take for a long time. I enjoy Christian art and iconography, even though I am no artist myself.

I found this picture in my current reading. I figured I would post it for your edification.

Hello all:

So, I’ve had the Restorationmovement.org domain name for a while…. and it has served several different functions, but I’ve not been real thrilled with the site….So, do any of you have any suggestions for a good use for it? I bought it with the intention of creating a yahoo style directory that was everything RM related, but I don’t know….

I’d like to hear your suggestions.

Hello Everyone:

In December, my family and I travelled to Springfield, MO, to celebrate my Grandmother’s 90th birthday. While we were there, we also met my three siblings for the first time, and spent a little time exploring St. Louis.

One of the most exciting parts of the trip for me that didn’t involve family was visiting the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis. This Basillica has the largest collection of mosaic art in the world, and these mosaics are on the walls and ceiling. It is probably the most beautiful building I have ever visited.

Right now I am at work, it is 2:40 in the morning. I am covering another Sergeant position, because my employer just fired someone for misconduct. I get off at 4am, and have to be back on-duty at 8:30am. I’ve been working graveyard for several weeks, and have been working all three shifts in one week. At times like this, I find myself wishing I could be at the Basilica for a couple of hours of quiet prayer, alone. Alas, I cannot.

Below are some photos for your viewing pleasure.
