otahuti - It has been my hap to have been active on this Forum since a few days after it began, yet it never ceases to astound me the avidity with which registrants jump to conclusions for which reasons are totally lacking. A case in point is yours in which you characterize Azure's response to your question as being "very closed minded." How that determination could be founded on Azure's brief response, which consisted merely of a Bible verse and two short question, goes beyond my powers of comprehension. ..... By the way, while I rejoice that you seem to have found a measure of satisfaction and contentment in sculpting, I do not see it as a scripturally-endorsed form of worshipping God. ..... I tried my hand at sculpting years ago. I started out with a large hunk of clay and worried with it for days. When at last I grew weary and surveyed my work, it was plain for all to see that the fruits of my labor were nothing but a large hunk of clay. Thus ended my career as a sculptor and with it my hopes to add a couple of Presidents to Mt. Rushmore. --Hank | ||||||

Dear otahuti, I am terribly sorry that you felt hurt with my quoting of the scripture. I even did not notice your saying about me "close minded" as I just felt relieved to see your first part of the answer and skipped the rest in your first response to me. Please do understand that just by your short question, it would be quite difficult for me to understand what lies behind. That's why I did ask you for further elaboration and you did. It is appreciated. Plesae also understand that the border line between sculptures of arts and idols could be blurred (especially in China) if we are not careful. However, I want you to also know that I admire your gift, creativity and love to serve our Lord with it. Hope you enjoy the forum. Shalom Azure |
