Body life illustrated

Some passages of scripture are best understood with pictures. That's why I use photos so often....it helps me to connect the word with our lives. Here is a photo that illustrates perfectly this passage of scripture-
1Pe 4:8 Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins.
1Pe 4:9 Be hospitable to one another without complaint.
1Pe 4:10 As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
1Pe 4:11 Whoever speaks, is to do so as one who is speaking the utterances of God; whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving by the strength which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
1Pe 4:12 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange thing were happening to you;
1Pe 4:13 but to the degree that you share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing, so that also at the revelation of His glory you may rejoice with exultation.

Hi Mike,

Good news, I am doing a Blogger next blog search and your familiar blog showed up. At least you can know that you are on the list.

That is quite the photo.:)

Why didn't you come teach my class on Ephesians? You could have even brought the picture (even though snakes scare me to death).
