Capacious
I read a quote from a William Maxwell story today. It goes this way: “and I think if it is true that we are all in the hands of God, what a capacious hand it must be.” Capacious - able to hold much. The line made me think of the song "God of Wonders". It is one of the few over-played songs that I haven't gotten sick of hearing. I am facinated with God and His ability to see and hold and watch over all of us. There are so many devastating things all around and yet we are still in His hands. And while there is such horror in the world - there is also such beauty. It is so easy to see the tragedy - but if you look hard past it, you can see the beauty. Friends - there is hope - there is wonder - there is beauty. Go out today and find it - chase it - pursue it. God has put it here for us - wouldn't it be a shame not to notice?

amen seriously....we as Christians are so uncultured its not even funny...the next time some one tells me jerem camp is an artist i will kill them instantly....ok a good artist anyway....ok so i have nothing against jeremy camp per se' but i just yearnfor something more than what our "Christian" artists are giving us...
look at handel's messiah, or bach, or michaelangelo....these were great artists giving glory to God...where is that today?
exactly - worship has become business and not even good business. you should read "Walking on Water : Reflections on Faith and Art" by Madeline LeEngle - Don't buy it - I have it. Interesting read - your comment made me think of it. Remind me to give it to you.
