I did find your post (via the custom search!) and enjoyed scrolling past some other posts, like the Mad magazine one. I'm an old school DC/Marvel kid (well, not <I>that</I> old) but I definitely see Kirby in <A HREF="http://bp3.blogger.com/_7aolyDs4tmo/RdrUPHMPJ3I/AAAAAAAAABs/5H1TIDMaMWk/s200/Untitled-1.jpg" REL="nofollow">your art</A>, and maybe a few others. (Byrne? Kane? Maybe?) Anyway, I like it! :)<BR/><BR/>I do have to ask, where did you get "sand"? Is there research on that somewhere, or is it a translation I don't know? On <A HREF="http://www.blueletterbible.org/cgi-bin/versions.pl?book=Jhn&chapter=8&verse=6&version=KJV#6" REL="nofollow">BLB</A>, the NIV says "dust" and everyone else says "ground". And my greek text says "ge" which is "earth".<BR/><BR/>Again, I'm eager for more knowledge here. Whence "sand"?<BR/><BR/>Besides that, I'm honored you thought my note was worthy of Dr Ritmeyer's attention. I only hope he agrees! ;)Billhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05283809456471966882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12543231.post-18557444974049008932008-05-26T18:42:00.000-05:002008-05-26T18:42:00.000-05:00Hello Bill<BR/>Thanks for dropping by the 'Bible illustration blog'.<BR/>Yes, I came to a similar conclusion to you with regard to the floors of the outer courts. Have a look at my 'Writing in the sand' post. Although I have to say I'm not an expert!<BR/><BR/>I have forwarded your email though to Dr Leen Ritmeyer who is an expert on the Temple Mount. Hopefully he will be able to shed some light on this.Bible artisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11875939553176288499noreply@blogger.com
