12, 14, I told you I'm not religious. Also because of my younger days I have
that short term memory loss thing going.(LOL) Thanks for the info though. One thing
I'm not understanding is, are you criticizing the artist or no? I thought he did 
an outstanding job.

Surely not like what you described but moving none the less. This from a person who  hates religion. I'll look for pictures I have and post them.
