Welcome to DayBreaks! (If you have previously received DayBreaks via email, please don’t be confused by the blog title here of “DayBreaks Devotions” – we couldn’t simply use the “DayBreaks” designator because it was already taken in WordPress.)
DayBreaks began on June 1, 1997 as a Christian email devotion sent to subscribers who requested to receive the devotions on Monday – Friday to help provide some Christian input into the ordinary, everyday work world.
Most of the DayBreaks devotions are generated by Galen Dalrymple, a former church planter/minister located in California, but now the Chief Operating Officer for Medical Ambassadors International (www.medicalambassadors.org), a non-profit, 501.c.3 organization that uses education and training to help needy people overseas and in the United States become self-reliant rather than depending on others to solve their issues for them. On occasion, others contribute to the blog, but most of the musings (and certainly any blame that is appropriate!) is that of Galen alone.

Dear Galen,
we came to your blog in an unusual way. My name is Gisela Bosch and I am working with a team on a way to facilitate the Equipping of our Church. One of the steps is creating the logo and when we were looking for things with hands on the world your image was the one that everyone liked best. We were looking to purchase a stock photo. Is your image available somewhere and would you be opposed to us using it?
Greetings from a wintery Michigan,
Gisela
Hi, Gisela! Do you recall what particular blog post that was which you were interested in? If you can tell me which one had that image, I can see if I can tell you where I got it. I’d be happy to try to help you get your hands on it!
I am looking forward to reading your blog. Thanks for sharing your experiences from our Israel pilgrimage! Glad that the Lord saw fit that we were both part of that group!
The post on 12/24/2019, “The Lamb Victorious,” you included a stunning image of an Agnus Dei window. Can you tell me the location or copyright information of the image? I would like to use it for my custom Easter greeting cards this year and want to credit it properly. Thank you.
Bobby: thanks for reaching out. Can you take a screen capture of it so I know which one you’re referring to? I’m sorry, but when I go to the post itself, it’s showing a broken link. If you can still see it, it would be helpful for me in tracking it down. Thanks!!!!
Sure! Please see below. Thanks so much.
Here it is: https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_psHfxQvHo8/XpJVl33BWVI/AAAAAAAAM_A/AaFGj8MiYPouwJh5RC3FE-jeH5_tgDNJQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Lamb_of_God_Bleeding_-_Visitation_Symbol.jpg
Thank you, but I was wondering if that is stained glass from a particular church, and artist rendition, etc. I would like to include it on my custom Easter cards and would like to cite it properly.
Bobby: sorry, just saw your reply. I’m not able to locate an original source, but here are some leads. In one location it refers to maryrosaries.com but that site seems to be broken.
It is also present on GravityLeadership.com (https://gravityleadership.com/why-it-matters-that-the-lion-is-the-lamb/) but doesn’t give an image source.
It is also found on another WordPress site: https://abyssum.files.wordpress.com/2018/04/94738-lamb_of_god_bleeding_-_visitation_symbol.jpg that doesn’t give a source, either.
In fact, I located it on 15 different webpages but none give the source. I found it originally doing a filter in Google with the license stipulate that it be “Free to share and use”. Sorry I couldn’t be more specific. I think you could share it with “Source Unknown”.
Blessings and peace…
Thanks for the info. Just wanted to credit it properly if it wasn’t “free.” Best…
