samu, This sounds to me much more like the understanding of non-believers.
Christians, anyway, understand that all are sinful and fall short of the glory
of God, and that no good deed we do can ever change that balance. Rather, only
by the redeeming work of Jesus Christ are we counted innocent. The reason we do
good deeds is out of gratitude for what God has done for us and how He has loved
us.
It's a picture of Chiriri "bivouacking" (biibaa-ku) with a little
beaver (biibaa) I pulled from the 5th ep. My actual version is about 4x the
size. Comments and criticism are appreciated. I hope this will be good source
material for a wallpaper. Thanks!
EDIT: Somehow the ImageHosting.us links got b0rked, so I'm hosting them on my
personal webspace (until my sysadmin yells at me anyway *crosses fingers*).
Also, I ligtened the background, per somebody's suggestion. -kup
I've been reading Yotsubato and watching Azumanga Daioh lately. Can't wait to
get netflix so I can rent Ah My Goddess, Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi, and
whatever else I happen upon!
