      Getting locked out would be _extremely_ frustrating :( I do hope it gets fixed!

      I don't remember seeing this one at the museum, oddly enough, but it's in their collection. I need to go back :)

      The empty tomb makes an appropriate subject for the day :)

    Interesting painting. At church our minister talked about how Jesus revealed himself first to women, a major move in recognizing women had value!

      Especially since they required two adult male agreeing witnesses to testify to anything. What a woman said didn't count at all unless it was corroborated by two adult men. And yet it was women who were chosen to be first.
