 Title from Biblical quote used as the title of an early religious TV show.

Couldn't get the miniature wicked lamp to burn properly, so I just stuck a small candle in it for the minute or two we were shooting -- feet supplied (as usual) by [user]Isaac[/user].

He sat on the bed with his feet hanging over, lamp supported on a box; shot from below using SuperMacro mode to get the lamp most in-focus.
