If it were original, it would be in a museum. I’ll never be wealthy enough to own anything that would go in a museum.

Don’t be too sure about that. I once found two Eastern Orthodox icons at a garage sale for 25 cents, that together were worth about $1,200. They had been smuggled out of the USSR shortly after the Communist revolution. God only knows how many gave their lives to protect these precious artifacts. Maybe none, maybe several.

I sent both icons to their Russian home in 1993, as my way of defending against residual Communism. I pray that God holds it in my favor on Judgment Day.
