Dear Ned:
Thank you for the gift of your artwork this Resurrection season.
I’ve viewed it several times and read your efforts to produce this masterpiece.
It reminded me that there’s been a struggle for “the crown” … and you’ve focused us on the fact that this demonic crown is under the feet of Jesus.
I know that Frances has crowned Him King over her life.
Blessings, Bev
Yes, Bev, “corona” and “crown” come from the same word root. Indeed, I had considered making a “crown of thorns,” replacing the thorn points with coronavirus spikes. Yes, Frances (my mom) has been devout over her entire life.
