It has been a blessed Lord's Day today. We had some new faces in church and the Spirit was with me mightily as I delivered a message on the justification of God's justice. Praise the Lord!

In light of Max's recent thread on forum names I found myself actually more interested in who (or what) is in your avatar and what caused you to choose that particular picture?

Mine is John Paton, missionary to the New Hebrides. When I read Piper's biographical sketch on Paton he became an instant hero in the faith. Love the beard, too.

I took this picture and was amazed at how it came out. I'm no trained photographer, so when I take a good one it's pretty exciting. The use of a lion has obvious implications I think. I don't really wannabee a lion though, except for wanting to be like the Lion of Judah.

Does mine need an intro?

Very nice shot, Joe.

- No, I realize some are obvious to most of us. However, they may not necessarily be obvious to everyone. (Take Bob's for example, many people might want to know who the male model in his avatar is.)

John Owen was the one who convinced me of TULIP with his explanation of the "L." He was also the greatest of the English Puritans (in my opinion).

OK for the second time in 2 days I almost spewed coffee! Sorry Dr. Bawb!

Wycliffe at the moment. It was the closest I could get to the Middle Ages. I alternated between that and country-western singer Trace Adkins.

Joel Osteen, missionary to the rich and prosperous, signing his third-favourite book.

I always try and put a picture of myself with one of our girls. (Currently it's me and Tiffany)

I loved this painting the first time I saw it. The lady has her nose buried in a book or a letter (like I always do), and would you believe, just weeks before I saw this painting for the first time, I had a period dress made for me that looks almost exactly like the one in the painting, right down to the shade of blue.

Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, simply the most straightforward Christian (something I aspire to be) that I have ever read about, outside of the Bible.

He's also a fellow Virginian, and Southern Presbyterian.

A Bosendorfer piano (Strauss Special Edition). I am a pianist and these are my FAVORITE pianos!!! Too bad they're insanely expensive; the one I played on at school was worth about $40k and it was a standard grand and at least 15 years old!

Dang! I thought that western feller were you.

I like the look of old sailing ships. That's why I chose this avatar. But I've had a few different ones before.

James & Anna (my two oldest, 5 &3 respectively). I took this picture with my studio equipment and it's one of my favorite pics of my kids I've ever taken. I told James and Anna to look at each other and I got an adorable picture of James talking and Anna smiling adorably at him.

In my Profile is a pic of Anna and Sophia (my youngest until my son is born soon).

It's an awesome picture, especially the cigar.

Mine is Spurgeon preaching at the old Met Tab. Others have come and gone, but Spurgeon has always been the one pastor that I aspire to imitate.

Of course, I do change my avatar from time to time. I've had Martyn Lloyd-Jones, John Bunyan, James Boyce...I'm thinking about Al Mohler in the future.

Mine is currently the Greek letter Omega. It has numerous meanings. Christ is the Omega, that is, the end. As well, Omega is the electronic symbol for resistance...whereas I'm using it for life in general.
