My avatars are from animes that I really liked or were "the first ones" that I watched.

So, who is that in your avatar, alma? It kinda reminds me of that painting "The Scream".

Because she's so happy go lucky, even though she has bad health. I think she's really strong for being able to do that :)
And this I pray, that your love would abound still, more and more with real knowledge and all discernment. Be prepared to preach the gospel at a moment's notice. Do you know the gospel well enough to do so yourself? Be ready.

Neane, who is the character in your avatar if you don't mind me asking? She seems pretty neat.

I choose mine because I was simply looking for a new avatar one day, came across this one and then lol'd at the pure awesomeness of it. :lol:
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

What's my avatar look like again? I haven't posted in so long that I've forgotten.

Edit: Oh yeah! That thing! I made this avatar because my brother forced me to sit down and watch Gurran Lagann and now I'm stinking in love with it! Especially Princess Nia, how can you not love her? :P

From "Toradora". I liked this the best because it's so insanely dorky and so in public - and Ryu's friends went along with it. Nice.

Mine is Rin Kagamine. I love her as my avy cuz she looks sooooo cute in this pic.
"And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.
But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus." Ephesians 2:1-7

I chose Xion (Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days) as my avatar. With her hood covering her face, I thought I could use the avatar as a representation, per se, of who my own character would be in the series.

(Exlon is actually a name I made up to fit into the series for fun.)

Mine is Aya(Ran) & Aya Fujimiya from Weiss Kreuz. (Brother and sister)
Just because I love the icon, and Aya(Ran) is still one of my favorite anime characters of all time. (from the first show, I haven't seen the second one yet)
Plus that show has both my favorite Japanese seiyuus in it. Koyasu Takehito and Seki Tomokasu (sp?), yep.

I chose mine:
3) Joe Madureria is an awesome artist
2) The drawing is a tribute to 9/11
1) It was during a time where we all needed God's mercy, grace and wisdom to guide us not to fear, but to enlightenment....that those caught in the event got to go home before all of us.

At least, I can only pray that they were able to be with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

I chose my avatar because Nagisa is one of my favorite characters from Clannad since she is a sweet yet strong character. I also love the fact that she's smiling in the photo since it add a friendly aspect to my posts and profile, as I am a friendly person in real life.
