Ernest's mom is freed from the hospital today (maybe). She was rushed there on Tuesday and rapidly recovered while joking that Christ Hospital "is a prison with good pot roast." In that spirit, this week, we are spotlighting "Peter Led From Prison" (Acts 12:5-10) by Ed Knippers. With a figurative style that is Baroque, Cubist, and naked, he is a founding father of contemporary Christian art. Today, a print is included in the Christians in the Visual Arts annual auction fundraiser. Bidding is open until 9 pm, and that's our A&O collector's tip this week.
