The flags in the “Story of the Bible”; Creation, Fall and the Covenants are important to us as Christians because of their historical and spiritual value. We believe God is our Creator and the Book of Genesis tells us how the earth was made and why there is man and woman as masters of this world. The Fall is just as important as it details why sin and death are introduced to this world and why we will need redemption to be restored into God’s good graces. Finally, the Covenants are our reassurance of God’s responsibility and dedication to us, his beloved followers. He promises us life after death and the Glory of Heaven. The common thread throughout these flags are the continued reminder He is in charge and, much like a parent, love and cherish us but with a stern hand.

However, I see us being born, developing as a child and being initiated to new rules and experiences. As we grow, our parents give us guidance and become role-models in our lives. We continue to meet all types of people, experience love, sadness, death and elation. And, as we start to enter the final chapters of our lives, we reflect and prepare for the beginning of a new life.
