David who?

Our visit to the Academia in Florence seemed anticlimatic after all that we had seen in Florence.  Actually we had seen the replica of this statue in the Piazza.  But the actual sight of this majestic sculpture by Michelangelo is breath taking.  They have recently cleaned it and so the luster of the marble makes him appear bigger than he is.  Maybe that is what Goliath thought also when he encountered this young man.  You can see him holding the sling and looking proudly forward in this moment after the slaying.  It is a masterpiece.  Today is our moment to create a masterpiece wherever we are, with God's help.
