And his raiment became shining,
exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller
on earth can white them.....Mark 9:3
When researching
Eastons
Bible Dictionary I found an interesting meaning
of the scripture verse above
and thought it pertinent enough to write it below.
(Please read, before continuing
with the rest of this page where I have several
small pictures that
may take a little while to load depending upon your computer.)
Fuller
- The word "full" is from the Anglo-Saxon fullian, meaning "to whiten."
To full
is to press or scour cloth in a mill. This art is one of great antiquity.
Mention is made of
"fuller's
soap" (Mal. 3:2), and of "the fuller's field" (2 Kings 18:17). At his transfiguration
our Lord's raiment is
said
to have been white "so as no fuller on earth could white them" (Mark 9:3).
En-rogel (q.v.), meaning literally
"foot-fountain,"
has been interpreted as the "fuller's fountain," because there the fullers
trod the cloth with their feet.
On March 5th 2006, we had three
or four inches of fluffy white snow...We had a lot of traffic to
our bird
feeder. An Eastern
chipmunk that rarely comes out of hibernation in the winter time even joined
the
crew...However she isn't
built for cold weather and her little feet were quivering in the deep snow
as she
hunched her shoulders
and curled her tail around her to keep warm. A Grackle appeared briefly
with her
mate and I was able
to take a quick shot of her with my camera before she flew away to join
her beloved.
The blue jays flew back and
forth not staying long on each trip.... but long enough to take a quick
picture...
The Cardinals
politely waited their turn patiently and came back several times throughout
the day.
My husband, Dorsey scraped
off the bird feeder as the snow continued ...My last picture of the day
is of
our dog Koki, burying
her face in the snow truly enjoying and reaping the benefits from a
fuller earth.
