AND:
Steve Van Hatton where I swiped the background from. The graphic background is Papyrus. It is called "bull rushes" in the King James Bible. It was used in ancient Egypt to make boats, paper, musical instruments, and many useful things. It grows out from river and lake shores to form a floating mat on which some fishermen actually live. During high water periods, sections of the matted Papyrus can break off and float away forming ghostly islands. The key to raising papyrus is to keep it floating wet. It is the perfect plant for a child to start gardening. He cannot drown it.
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved!
