I'm sorry th...Thanks for your comments, Heath. I'm sorry that I didn't catch them here earlier. What you say is a helpful consideration, and one that bears thinking about. It dovetails, interestingly, with a book that I'm reading (with mixed opinions): "Truth, Beauty, and Goodness Reframed: Educating for the Virtues in the Twenty-First Century," by Howard Gardner. I find myself frustrated by his very liberal world view and ideology, but I find his concerns and the topic itself to be quite significant and challenging.<br /><br />Anyway, thanks for your comment.Rev.

Something more...Gloriously said, Rick, as always. <br /><br />Something more to think on: we must also be willing to learn what beauty is, to grow in our understanding of beauty. "When I was a child..." I thought hotdogs were the best, and I still enjoy them on occasion. But can you imagine an adult whose taste did not develop to enjoy filet mignon over a hot dog? <br /><br />And so, here in this post, you remind us that we must learn and grow so that we can know beauty and that this beauty might lead and direct us to the praise of God. This is the truth at the core of Romanticism - the baby too often tossed out with the bathwater of emotionalism. <br /><br />+HRCPr. H.
