If you've been around me, you know how much I love the Basel Muenster. I was there again the other day. There are so many meaningful messages to be found in and around this cathedral. Here is one of my favorites.
In the King James Bible Psalm 91:13 says, "Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet."
Inside this cathedral there is a way you can fulfill this very scripture....check it out.
(I didn't take this first photo.)
Notice the glass plate in the floor there? It is located very near the front area of the church - near the raised pulpit. Let's take a closer look.
Under the glass is a very old stone (part of the original cathedral floor) with a "dragon" painted on it. It is here in the floor to serve as an illustration of Psalm 91:13 - that Christ followers would indeed trample dragons under their feet. That's my foot in the photo trampling on the dragon. I think this is really cool. Everytime I go there I try and trample on the dragon before leaving the church.

I didn't know you were such an amazing sketcher...look what do we have here...a leader, architect, and sequential thinker...good mix of left and right brain.
And Psalm 91 is psalm I recite everyday.
