Miracle From Heaven
Joy Of The Lord- By Liz Lemon Swindle
In 2009 three nationally known artists joined talents to share their witnesses of Jesus Christ. The “Son of Man Project“ was created to combine artwork of renowned Christian artist Liz Lemon Swindle, the music of acclaimed composer Kenneth Cope, and the writings of religious scholar Susan Easton-Black
“at completion, the Son of Man project will include a four-volume book series, an original two-volume musical score, and over one hundred paintings and sketches celebrating the life of the Savior.”
The attached video produced by B. Hillman combines Kenneth Cope’s song “Miracle From Heaven“ with art-work by Liz Lemon Swindle, and enjoy rare behind-the-scene footage of Ms. Swindle’s staged subject photo-shoots.

Where was Jesus for the 30-35 hours between His death on Friday, and His Resurrection on Sunday? The answer unlocks the mystery of death and gives us a glimpse of God’s Great Plan of Happiness for all of His children. Elder Spencer J. Condie of the Quorum of the Seventy stated:
“…the significance of what He [The Savior] did during those hours provides the doctrinal foundation for building [Latter-day Saint] temples across the earth. Furthermore, a testimony of what He did can greatly console those who mourn the death of a loved one.” Continue reading

When my heart
Cries out,
“I am alone!”
I look at the cross to my left
And Jesus is there.
Since Friday
He has been
Quietly sharing
my pain
And when I listen
I hear Him Say,
“Lo, I am with you…
Alway.” Continue reading

They had a commanding view of the beautiful Sea of Galilee as they listened to the man who had calmed its waves and walked upon its sparkling water. Continue reading

Today I am sharing a beautiful Christmas song written by Julie and Darwin Wolford which was published in the LDS Church New Era Magazine, December 1991.
1. The earth was bathed in clean, pure light,
As heavenward the star burned bright,
A sign from God to men on earth
To tell the world of Jesus’ birth. Continue reading
