Hello Michael,
The Master taught us,"Let the dead bury the dead".
I don't know if I can explain this very well.
I lost my mother in May.I moved backed to be near her when my father
died in 2000.She became my closest friend.I don't keep pictures of her
or my father and I turn from thoughts of both of them because I would
rather forget than remember.But I could not ask for better parents.
When the bible speaks of graven images,does that include photographs?
And when person is gone(dead) should we try to remember them or forget
them.
