• Cross Reference of 2 Corinthians 12:9
• Key Verses and Themes in Daniel

       "Taken into slavery after the fall of Jerusalem in 605 B.C., Daniel (Robert Miano) is forced to serve the most powerful king in the world, King Nebuchadnezzar. Faced with imminent death, Daniel proves himself a trusted Advisor and is placed among the king's wise men. Threatened by death at every turn Daniel never ceases to serve the king until he is forced to choose between serving the king or honoring God. With his life at stake, Daniel has nothing but his faith to stand between him and the lions den."

Matthew 19:4-6

Black and white graphic available for now.

Description of Illustration: black and white design, bride and groom walking across the lawn with their wedding party, church with steeple in the distance, ivy boarder, scripture "Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, 'Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'? So they are no longer two but one flesh. what therefore God has joined together, let not man separate." Matthew 19:4-6 (ESV) said by Jesus in response to Jewish leaders seeking to divorce their wives for less than serious circumstances, such as sexual immorality.

Here I've played around with the font a bit, and changed it to green.

I then decided to change the positioning of the font altogether and also have included six new monochromatic versions of the photograph; these seem to blend in with some web pages better. The three new colors are common to Spring weddings: pink, blue and lavender.

You can see here that I've moved the text to the left
and have selected a bolder looking one.

The two monochromatic blue versions. One has a very fine border
around it and is intended for white backgrounds only.

Here, as with the blue and lavender versions, the pink is also available
with a darker background. I prefer the lighter backgrounds but my daughters
have informed me that boarders in graphics are not as fashionable.
I have argued with them about the visual necessity of them but to no avail.

Lavender in weddings apparently is quite popular, so I was not allowed
to avoid it here. My oldest child says that it is necessary; so there you have it.

And at last, because it was requested by a clergymen, a grayscale for newsprint.

Kiddush Cup

This kiddush is hand drawn.

Description of Illustration: silver Kiddush cup, drawing with transparent background, Star of David

The term kiddush also refers to refreshments served either at home or at the synagogue following prayer services on Shabbat or Yom Tov, which begin with the recitation of kiddush. Cake, crackers, and gefilte fish are traditionally served. On Shavuot morning, the custom is to serve dairy foods such as cheesecake and cheese blintzes for the kiddush.

       According to the Shulchan Aruch, kiddush should be recited preceding the Shabbat meal. Eating mezonot such as cake or cookies or drinking an additional revi'it of wine, was also deemed sufficient. Nevertheless, some Jews recite kiddush only when about to partake of a full meal.

       Often a kiddush is hosted by a family celebrating the birth of a daughter, a bar mitzvah, a wedding, an engagement, a birthday, or other happy occasion. Some people also host a kiddush on the yahrtzeit of a parent or other relative. In some synagogues the celebrant is honored with reciting the Shabbat morning kiddush on behalf of all the attendees. In other synagogues the rabbi or gabbai recites the kiddush. Some Jews make kiddush on Shabbat morning over liquor instead of wine. When this is done, the blessing recited is she-hakol nihyeh bid'varo instead of borei p'ri ha-gafen. The Mishnah Berurah (an authoritative Ashkenazi halakhic text) allows liquor to be substituted for wine on the grounds that it is Hamar Medina, a drink one would serve to a respected guest.

traditional Fall wedding colors.

 Spring or Summer wedding color scheme. A
very young bride will often choose pink
to symbolize young love for her wedding.

announcements etc... in the same lavender.

any time of the year. Green is not only the color of spring
but also the color of evergreens during the winter months.
Green wedding bells trimmed with white bows will

 for a bride who chooses a classic blue and white color
scheme at her wedding.
