An interesting cross. Starting at the bottom, you have Jacob wrestling with "the Devil" (in quotes because most modern scholarship doesn't believe this figure to be the Devil but God Himself, perhaps a preincarnate Christ). Go one up and you have Paul and Timothy talking. One more is Christ as Judge, accompanied by two angels harkeening the end of the world. The very top two symbols are ancient symbols for faith. On the left of the bar is David. The right bar is Daniel in the Lion's Den.
A good friend of mine is in need:
“Gauchomiller” needs something. For almost 45 years, he has been using an AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY, New Testament and Psalms, SERIES 393-395, #???,000- 666,000 QB 12. (SOFT COVER-NOT HARD) but at this point that will work. This has to be the worlds best preaching Bible. It is indestructible. It has thick pages that can be “hit” without ripping. You can use a magic marker and it will not fade through. Bang it. Throw it. Drop it. Wave it over your head. It is immortal. And has GIANT PRINT.
My last soul survivor is dying. ( I had 4, but marked them from cover to cover and gave them to new believers).
My preaching days are far from over and I need to replace this marvel of God’s word.
If any of you can locate such a New Testament……new, used, Old Book Store……..I will pay up to $50 per copy. That is how much I treasure this edition. *The last copy I found was at the ABS office on Tucuman Street, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, of all places. I gave a Methodist minister my brand new in the box, $75.00 Scofield for the one that I use now.
If you have one, know of one, please contact me and I will put you in touch with "Gauchomiller". You can contact me at [oracle on delhi studios at gmail] Leave out the spaces and add the dotcom. That should cut down on the spam.
I found some TINY antique salt and and pepper shakers and although I didn't know what I was going to do with them, I knew I just had to get them!
Soooooo this necklace features the tiny salt shaker measuring not even two inches tall and a brass wire looped securely through two of the holes.
I LOVE this verse in Psalms that reads...
"God keeps track of all my sorrows. He collects all my tears in His bottle"
I was thinking about this verse when I thought how adorable and sweet it would be to fill this little bottle with "tears". The tears are GORGEOUS faceted glass beads that change with the light...mostly purple, greens and blues.
I glued the top on and then decided I needed to actually put the verse....or at least part of the verse....somewhere on the bottle. I found a small silver button with a hold in the middle so I glued the button to the bottom with a little wire to hold the bauble. I used a brass lace edged bezel and placed the tiny scripture inside and then covered it with a glass cabochon. There is one tiny tear that escaped and is dripping down the very bottom of the bottle.
The silver chain measures 30" with the pendant adding another 3" and the pendant portion adds another 3" or so. I added two lovly "grape" beads, brass spacers and the same glass beads inbetween the chain for added BLING!
