Sacrament Meeting by Doc ChristensenAbout this Image: Doc has said of this painting This painting was unique from its very beginning. It would be great if I could take credit for the composition and message it conveys but in my mind, that would be like Moses taking credit for bringing water from the stone in the desert. Usually when I have an idea for a painting it starts as a simple seed and it grows as I play with the image in my mind, but this painting was different. I was sitting in

This painting is a personal interpretation of heaven

Jesus walking on path with sheep following him

Since then

I love the peaceful feeling this sweet tree conveys

I have found when it is inspired from heaven sometimes a painting paints itself

so it seemed fitting to create temple artwork to reflect the area around it

and filled

saying: This thing is a similitude of the sacrifice of the Only Begotten of the Father

we will truly discover the Joy of the Harvest

will reign till he descends on the earth to put all enemies under his feet

It is His peace and love that abide with us throughout our lives

Angels minister to us on both sides of the veil
