Published: Dec. 20, 2023, 10 a.m.

b'There\\u2019s nothing quite like an encounter with beauty to remind us that we are temporal\\u2014and, temporary\\u2014creatures. Who hasn\\u2019t wanted the gorgeous sunset to just go on and on and on? Who has listened to Rachmaninoff\\u2019s All-Night Vigil, and not desired it to go on indefinitely?\\n\\xa0\\nBeauty is like that. It transports us into states of timelessness that remind us that we were made, not for this world\\u2014but for the world that is coming.\\n\\xa0\\nJoin us for the last episode of this season that will remind us of what it means that God has placed eternity in our hearts, and that putting ourselves in the path of oncoming beauty is the beginning of the time for which there will be no end. \\xa0\\n\\xa0\\n. . . .\\nEpisode Links and References\\nArtistic Offering discussed today: Nature in your own community...
