David's tear-watered couch grabbed attention with it's real working showerhead, but it was the bottles of tears that truly brought the message home-- the realization that those jars represent only a portion of the tears God's people have cried, and that there will be a time when all tears are wiped away.

The calendar with each day stamped "this is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it" was very simple, but a powerful reminder of the place of gratitude, joy, and praise that belong in a Chistian's life-- EVERYday.
My brother's shield also moved me-- that God is the lifter of our heads. I almost didn't notice the arrows, and really, I think that's the way God means it to be for us-- He himself is the focus and not the things that come at us.
The wings and the starry sky were skillfully made and beautiful without even needing a message-- they were encouraging and uplifting.
The Bible says that Chistians are to speak to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. I'd say that this exhibit truly accomplished that.
