TDZ Retrospective: A Masterpiece

Posted April 14, 2013. I made this Piggy bank as a gift several years ago. When The Big Guy was a grad student I was able to use the studio in the student center.

The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 18 All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses … Continue reading Because of Easter….
