A date tree is a sight most of us don't see every day. We have to be in that region of the world where they flourish. Though I live by a biosphere which contains thousands of tree/plant varieties, when I traveled and saw the date tree, I immediately enjoyed it's colorful fruit... and how it contrasted with the desert sky. I recognized this as a picture that should be a blended combination of abstraction and realism. God's handiwork in nature often offers us a smorgasbord of extremes combined together in unity.
About the Composer
- tAaOS
- In those wee hours of the morning; in those quiet, private times spent with the Lord; in those times of prayer and faithfully studying His word; that was when the Alpha & Omega Suite came to it's composer. This didn't happen instantaneously, but slowly and consistently over the course of nine years, beginning in 2000 and going through 2008. Accuracy to God's Word was more important than finishing the Suite quickly, which is a process that flies in contrast with the way things are normally done in our throw-away, media-centered culture. But, when dealing with the concept of God, it's important that our proclamation is based upon what He has revealed of Himself and not on the imaginations of fallen humanity.
