Now I really want to arrange flowers and create a table centerpiece.

This will be my third year using this. I am also hoping that it will be the first time I don't loose track of what day I am on 😅

"This is the power of art. It happens in time and space, but it points to the eternal. It takes the objects and ideas It finds lying around, the things of the here and now, and assembles them into something that belongs to a world outside of time."

This has been such a sweet story so far! I'm excited to keep listening.

I just started, but I'm excited! I really like the tone of it so far.

I want to yell at Cousin Archibald 😆 So bad.

"Life is a fragile, scared thing. This sacred fragility has played a central role in the creation of much of the world's great art."

I'm really enjoying this so far! She is a fun narrator and the world is engaging.

Good Quote:

"Living with limits is one of the ways we enter into beauty we would not have otherwise seen, good work we would not have chosen, and relationships we would not have treasured."

A friend lent this to me, so it will jump to the top of my tbr.

I think this is going to be a good book.

"God uses beauty to woo and warm hearts."

"Beauty is a relic of Eden—a remnant of what is good."

Chapter 2 was on what it meant to be confessional. I didn't grow up in a church with a confession, but I thought the author did a good job explaining why confessions and creeds are important, and how a church might implement having a creed.

Hoping to read more on theological distinctives this year and figured I should start here.

I have been dutifully influenced to give the book a listen! Everyone talked about listening to the BBC production so that is what I am doing 😊

Listening to this on my way to Vermont, hoping to hit my book reading goals. It's a little late to be reading an Advent devotional but I am going to use it to take notes about what I want to do for next year!
