A few nice Christianity images I found:

~day 1: God is Love~

I decided to start this '365' project today, October 26, 2010. However, this photo journal of a year is not going to be, hopefully, about 'me' and 'my life.' I want these images to show how God was present in every day of 365. This is how He was present in these days in my life. He was also present, on those same days, in your life, and in the life of everyone on this planet, and in the life of the whole universe.

Today a friend--Satomi--sent me a card. This was inside. This is 'God is Love' written in Japanese. Like me, Satomi is a convert to Christianity, and although she's from a distant place and culture, our life experiences have brought us close together. This friendship is to glorify God, to show the power of what His Love can do.

God loves every nation, not just yours.

God calls everyone 'friend', not just those you call friend.

God loves everyone, not just the people you find it easy to love.

God loves you, more than you can imagine.

"Arise up quickly..."

The Deliverance of St. Peter
Raphael. Fresco, 1514

A section of the painting by Raphael and his pupil Romano. Set upon a doorway. The scenes describe Peter's rescue by the angles, as described in Acts 12 of the bible.

And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands. - Acts 12:7
