  6. ". . . vision of the great multitude -- from every nation, race, people and tongue, they stood beforethe throne and before the Lamb, wearing white robes" (Revelation 7:9) The psalms often sing of the shadow of God's wings protecting us in night and under cloud Her in the dark of starlight a night mist below the saints gently softens the broken pieces of their lives.

In this mural the saints climb themountain of God, with a mysteriousness of cloudabove them and the broken pieces of theirlives left like shadows in the clouds below.
