FINDING TRUTH WHEREVER IT MAY BE FOUND - "There is something almost blasphemous about calling a book that lies unopened on a coffee table, "the Word of God." According to Scripture itself, God's Word is an active, dynamic force that never returns void but accomplished that for which it is sent (Is 55:11). The Word of God cleanses, heals, creates, judges, and saves, but it does not sit on coffee tables. A better formulation than saying The Bible is the Word of God, would be to say, The Bible becomes the Word of God in those who receive it." from Mark Allan Powell's, "What Is Narrative Criticism" (Thanks B)

"..the impresssionist personality views the world from many different aspects. They enjoy life and try to keep a realistic viewpoint of things, but are not very open to new experiences." (Too true -- I will look at every restaurant's menu in full --I'll be drooling over the Alfredo Whatever or veg fajitas with all the attendant greenery and fine and fattening creams and sauces-- but I will always order the baked stuffed seafood, with drawn buttah.
That was a long quiz, but neat to see art I wasn't at all expecting to see today (or even soon)! I was afraid the results would say, "You're a snooty snob of a Catholic. Out with you--out!"
I'll have to go check out Kay's videos now..
I think you know about which gorilla she is referring.
