Jesus Appears to Thomas

John 20:24-29
Now Thomas (also known as Didymus[a]), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.” A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.” Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!” Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

SHOJ an inside look

Just a couple of interior shots of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Church.

I was very lucky to be there while the choir was practicing. Not only was I blessed with their song but they turned the lights on.

I TOLD HIM OF THE DEEDS THAT I HAD DONE
I TOLD HIM OF THE TROPHIES I HAD WON
BUT HE SAID TO ME HAVE YOU BEEN SET FREE
IS YOUR NAME WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE

The Old Rugged Cross

In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
A wondrous beauty I see,
For ’twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
To pardon and sanctify me.

Pews 67 and 3

I found these two pews in the original part of The Sacred Heart of Jesus Church, just begging me to take their picture.

John 19:2

The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They clothed him in a purple robe

Nativity Postcard

I tried to make and give this Nativity scene a Postcard look and feel.

Mary and Christmas Ornament

This is just another variant of the original picture. I was striving for a black and white image but liked these muted colors better. I also wanted to try my luck at adding an imposed image on the large Christmas ornament.

Mary and Wreath

I have featured this grouping before, but I like this shot the best so far.

Iron Cross

I've taken and posted this shot before. On this trip I decided to try some post manipulation.
