Biblical Ethics and Music Aesthetics

We were on our break, having lunch at Nola, and Naomi (my sister) asked, “What would you think if someone told you they were an artist or a musician?” I wasn’t sure what she was getting at, but it was a question I’d given a lot of thought to. I’ve been writing (off and on) about music and …

Jesus Loving & Laughing Exhibition

Too right: “Much Christian art (and theology) has concentrated on guilt and suffering. But Jesus came to bring joy to the world - not to make guilt-ridden wrecks.” And so it’s good to hear of this and to see posted some of the pictures: “This collection of paintings from artists from 16 countries gi…

(In other words, tough noogies, I’m…

The Beauty of God

Tonight we had a tremendous downpour of rain, and afterwards the sun came out, so I went out to pray my Rosary. What a beautiful sight greeted me! The rain had beaded on the spruce needles, and the sun was glinting through those drops of rain. With the wet coniferous trees and flowering fruit trees,…
