The above painting was done by my friend Scott and given to Dave and me as a wedding present. I am totally thrilled with this pic. :) It is so wonderful. :) And Scott had a bunch of people from the Financial Aid Office sign the matting surrounding the painting for us. Right now this painting is hanging in our bedroom. It is the first piece of artwork I've ever owned and I am so absolutely thrilled about it. :) One of these days I'll try to get a better pic of it up on this, but I had so many people that wanted to see it that I just had to get something up.
Also, below are the lyrics to the song that I walked down the aisle to. Goes well with the painting. :)
If You Could Hie to Kolob, 284 - William W. Phelps
If you could hie to Kolob In the twinkling of an eye,
And then continue onward With that same speed to fly,
Do you think that you could ever, Through all eternity,
Find out the generation Where Gods began to be?
Or see the grand beginning, Where space did not extend?
Or view the last creation, Where Gods and matter end?
Me thinks the Spirit whispers, “No man has found ‘pure space,’
Nor seen the outside curtains, Where nothing has a place.”
The works of God continue, And worlds and lives abound;
Improvement and progression Have one eternal round.
There is no end to matter; There is no end to space;
There is no end to spirit; There is no end to race.
There is no end to virtue; There is no end to might;
There is no end to wisdom; There is no end to light.
There is no end to union; There is no end to youth;
There is no end to priesthood; There is no end to truth.
There is no end to glory; There is no end to love;
There is no end to being; There is no death above.
There is no end to glory; There is no end to love;
There is no end to being; There is no death above.
