(I'm still thinking about your question Connie. More later. :)

I just wanted to toss out something that I read recently and found interesting, R.C. Sproul was talking about the work of the Holy Spirit in creating new life in us. He was using the word "quickening", as in "quickening from spiritual death" or "the Spirit quickens our hearts". He talked about how, outside of spiritual terms, the most common use of the word was in regard to pregnancy, when a woman first feels the life, the movement, of the baby in her womb.... the quickening.
I thought that was great. That first movement, the first moment, the life, the action. Of course if I knew how to capture the sense of that in a piece of artwork I would do it right away! I hope that some element of it comes through.
