Engaging! Inspiring! Real! "The Prickled Velvet Quilt," like a patchwork with a variety of shapes, sizes, colors, and threads to bring out an exquisitely designed spread, as well as serving as a covering, comes to you with griping details from both biblical, and current literal characters' "prickled" journey. Each patch depicts pursuits, pitfalls, interests, disappointments, conquests, defeats, and the grappling with life's uncertainties. Some may tent to forfeit their quest in the process. Yet, the greater portion of travelers weather their mission challenges until at some point in time, providential intervention gives way to a brighter horizon--for even some unthinkable destinations. And that's when hope arrives, and stays alive! Prickled Velvet are we all! The way in which we choose to assemble, or disassemble, all the realities involved as we journey along, makes all the difference. Are your youthful paths hinged on hopeless edge? Have you been driven to the brink of despair, leading to 'no-man's land? Are you on the first or last lap of your purpose track? Stay on track. Focus. You just cannot afford to give up now. This Prickled Velvet Quilt, at your fingertips, and even arm's length, will rejuvenate your push to the positive "finishing line." Hope is beckoning you now: "The race is not for the swift nor the battle for the strong," alone! Your creator is "...Your refuge and strength...." He is present, even now. "Prickled Velvet..., all are we."
