The Wide Emblem


"He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart." Psalm 91:4

As I reviewed my mystory I came across a few themes that seemed to connect across many of my blog posts. My parents' love for me was a big one. They shielded and protected me, and showed me how to be an adult in the real world beyond the limits of their shelter. That helped me to appreciate and favor entertainment and community values that reflected what they had taught me. Their faithfulness to what they believed was true was my "shield and rampart." And one day I'll pass on and instill those same values in my family.

The hummingbird represents my pursuit of ministry as I explained in the "Mapping Home" entry of this blog. The larger and smaller birds represent family and protection themata. The lightning storm represents the somber realities of the world around us, but is juxtaposed by the peace that can be experienced within the refuge of the larger birds wings despite the chaos.
