dude, this is tre cool.. very inspirational in your building outlook..
especially in "living bricks" such as minifigs and animals.  you've inspired me
to build a flock of sheep, btw.  most of your buildings have a simplified
beauty to them, but the tower is awesome! im gonna have to take a good long
time studing it for inspiration! (ive recently become mesmerized by circular
buildings).

but the one thing i have to ask: how does the stories you've selected, as well
as the way you've recreated them inform your theology? or rather, how does
your theology inform your lego stories?  i mean, you've made some interesting
choices about what to include, what not to include (i know several new
testament stories make some noticable exclusions), and being that you are a
reverend (what denomination, may i ask?) those choices carry greater weight
than from a lay person.

i also have to say that you don't at all shrink from the sexual, and in some
instances (such as pulling a rather obscure Lot story) go looking for the
sexual.  not that i have a problem with this at all, i just wanted to ask why?

peace

ps. my father is a preacher, hence my interest in the faith questions your work
presents.

couple of weeks and may not always be able to respond in a timely fashion).
