St. Francis of Assisi

by Renae March 23, 2007

St. Francis of Assisi, originally uploaded by CarolinaRen.

My scanner did not recognize the top and bottom black portions of this card so it looks out of proportion here. I purchased this card, by monk/artist Robert Lentz, because I’m fascinated by the tale of Assisi. The story goes that the Icon of Christ Crucified came alive and said to him three times, “Francis, Francis, go and repair My house which, as you can see, is falling into ruins.” (Thanks to Wikipedia for that quote!)

Art card, Kuala Lumpur, originally uploaded by CarolinaRen.

From a round robin; I am sorry my scanner could not recognize the top or left side border, which is why this looks like a poor scan–which it is 🙂

Bad Schwartau, Germany

by Renae March 23, 2007

Bad Schwartau, Germany, originally uploaded by CarolinaRen.

Love this view! A visit to the city’s Web site, translated by Google translation, says this about the town’s library: “For read rats and book worms the Paradies – our public library. Beside books you find also to play and hearing media. There more is for the whole family somewhat thereby…” Just think….this is probably what I sound like to a German when I am speaking (or trying to speak!) German 🙂

The Australian High Country, originally uploaded by CarolinaRen.

“Greetings from Mansfield, Vic.” This shows the Australian Alps and a high country horseman….awesome! Despite Crocodile Dundee, I never once would have thought “Australia” in the same sentence as “cowboy!” 🙂

This view makes the town look like it is a movie set! Thanks to Wendy, who also shared that Bastogne is the location of a WWII battle–as evidenced by the tank in the left corner.

Oklahoma City National Memorial

by Renae March 22, 2007

Oklahoma City National Memorial, originally uploaded by CarolinaRen.

Surprisingly, this card came to me from Wendy in the Netherlands 🙂 The memorial pays tribute to the 168 people who died in the 1995 bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building. Wow…this was ONE instance. Imagine if it were like Iraq or Sudan or Israel here…with trouble like this all the time. We would quickly grow tired of building memorials for each place and time something happened. There’d be no way to keep up.
