What to do on a clear day after church? Yesterday Dorcas and I drove down the Schuylkill Expressway and stopped in at the Philadelphia Art Museum for lunch and some good art.

spirituality and visual arts
People learn different ways; people worship different ways. If visual is a way you grasp spiritual truth, check this out.

On vacation I saw this "quilt" by Linda Piland at a church in Berea, KY. It reminded me how powerful the visual can be in worship and devotional life.

back at work--yes
It's great to be back after a week of vacation in Kentucky. We met this Kentucky Cardinal right outside the window, along with egrets, green herons, chickadees, tufted titmouses and others birds I rarely see.
Nature is a great canvas of raw material. Now as I put my thoughts, prayers, and hands on worship, we are turning raw materials into art human hands have made. I really couldn't do without either kind of beauty.
