  1. Reminds me of Augustine saying "Love God, then do what you will!" Great minds think alike!

  2. Precisely! As long as God is truly being served..the means matter little.
    What an exquisite painting, Nancy! I can hear the rustling of those gorgeous gowns...

  3. Nancy,

    What a truly beautiful painting. Like Trish, I can hear those gowns rustling! I guess those women are serving God in a very different way to someone like Mother Teresa. Yes, there are many different means.
