Mary Kochan at CatholicExchange.com sent me this link to a video entitled "Women in Art." What impressed me most ... besides the breathtaking variety of shapes and forms God created us ... is the fact that, even as they change, their gaze remains steadily on the viewer.
It reminds me of an old hymn I used to sing as a kid:
I sing because I'm happy, I sing because I'm free
For His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.
No matter what our circumstances, the loving gaze of our Divine Keeper never wavers.

Favorite Quotes
- "The greatest grace God can give anyone is to send a trial which cannot be born with one's own powers - and then sustain that person with His own grace so he may endure to the end and know the true source of salvation." (St. Justin Martyr)
- "Unless you believe, you will not understand." St. Augustine (354-430), De Libero Arbitri
- "Some luck lies in not getting what you thought you wanted, but in wanting what you have, which once you have it you may be smart enough to discover it is what you would have wanted all along, had you only known." (Garrison Keiller, "Lake Woebegon Days")
- "There's a tendency among some Christians to assume they are always right because the Lord is on their side. The problem is, this type of thinking makes the Christian only one step removed from being God Himself. As a consequence, it's pretty easy for such a person to accept even his most base emotions, opinions, or reactions as nearly divine and, therefore, correct." (Eric Scheske, "God on the Sleeve")
