This particular tree was so beautiful and impressive to us, like a living sculpture. We eventually decided to embark upon this project in order to show the struggle and beauty that is evident in all trees.

This is the premiere exhibit. There's going to be about 123 works of paintings and sculpture. We're the only museum in the country getting the full show.

If faith produce no works, I see That faith is not a living tree. Thus faith and works together grow, No separate life they never can know. They're soul and body, hand and heart, What God hath joined, let no man part.

I like to think of thoughts as living blossoms borne by the human tree

From what we can tell, it appears the lightning hit a tree next to us, came down and came out of the tree and just into some nails that were driven into the cabin to hold the logs together.

I just feel like a lot of it is none of our business. And it really doesn't make a difference to the murder itself. Everybody has a private life and I don't think anybody would want everybody we know telling little secrets about our lives.
