A LIVING DICTIONARY

The Words

The words collected in our dictionary are the words we have chosen to name our pieces — Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic words, drawn from the language of Scripture itself. Our pieces each carry scripture, and the name represents what we sensed the verses speaking in the moments they were designed. In naming our pieces, we want to share what scripture means to us. You are warmly invited to read, interpret, and reflect for yourself.
