Sat out on my front porch and gave it a listen, my neighbors probably think I 'm crazy :) I'll forward it to Wes.<br />Hollis, that's why we are all so great, we had that good church guidance early on.<br />Gail, OMG the stave churches, I have never seen those before thanks for suggesting them!!<br />Barbara, Wesley was into saints for awhile and we went to a Catholic store to look for some saint pendants. I have never seen such crazy saints, you are so right!Tracey Broomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14560971496423789576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3393740465996795163.post-2237684251403675692011-09-09T13:01:58.508-07:002011-09-09T13:01:58.508-07:00As a recovering catholic, I'm drawn to religio...As a recovering catholic, I'm drawn to religious art especially when it includes madonnas and have used her on my pots sometimes as well. I also made a series of bottles and then cups with patron saints of animals. I had orginally planned to make up my own, but the stories of the saints that already existed were so crazy that I knew I couldn't out-do them! Hee hee.

Michele, I love the calendar story! Too funny. We did the same with Wesley, taking her to church. I at least wanted her to know who some of the Bible characters were, since they are referenced so much in the South. Interestingly, she started reading the Bible last year for story inspiration :) she probably knows more than me now, she retains most everything she reads, unlike me!Tracey Broomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14560971496423789576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3393740465996795163.post-25035565251235101302011-09-09T06:35:57.011-07:002011-09-09T06:35:57.011-07:00I know, Tracey.

I remember a fire and brimstone service where I leaned over and told her not to believe a word that man was saying! I love religious symbols though, such great art there:)Tracey Broomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14560971496423789576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3393740465996795163.post-1678440759533838562011-09-09T04:16:29.676-07:002011-09-09T04:16:29.676-07:00Looking forward to seeing where you go with the ch...Looking forward to seeing where you go with the churches... I had my fill of 'em growing up and the symbols of Christianity are so heavy with dogma for me that it's sometimes hard to be open-minded... <br /><br />Therefore, we didn't do the forced march to church with our son, but his aunt would fill him with fire/brimstone stuff every chance she got... A self-proclaimed agnostic today, he often deals with the subject of religion in his art. And loves nothing better than long passionate discussions about formal religion and (what he thinks are) misguided belief systems. Perhaps he'll mellow with age. I sure have.<br /><br />It'll be interesting to see how he raises his own kids... And we found out last week that he and his wife are expecting! Another grand adventure begins...Patricia Griffin Ceramicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11205981725964222971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3393740465996795163.post-83922798536784317172011-09-08T21:06:59.366-07:002011-09-08T21:06:59.366-07:00I hear ya Hollis, I was that MYF pres too!
