Not so flying angels

The beautify city of Bath doesn’t seem to have many sculptures! So what better to do than to look at the ones on the walls of the Abbey. I love these ones of the angels climbing the long ladders. I wondered why they didn’t use their wings and fly up and down! So I checked it out : in the dream that Jacob had he saw a mighty long ladder stretching from earth to heaven. At the top God stood, and going up and down were the angels. And God called down a blessing on Jacob. Rightly rather fearful, Jacob exclaimed ‘How awesome is this place!.. This is the house of God, the gate of heaven’.

What a splendid image : whether outside, as Jacob was, or in a religious building, God is not so far from us :).
