A World Grown Dull

This is a quote from the book Epic (pgs 45-47) by John Eldredge... thought it was quite profound and relevant to our class discussion.

We have grown dull toward his world in which we live; we have forgotten that it is not normal or scientific in any sense of the word. It is fantastic. It is fairy tail through and through. Really now. Elephants? Caterpillars? Snow? At what point did you lose your wonder at all?

What in nature has taken your breath away this past year?

Creation unfolds like a great work of art, a masterpiece in the making...

Let's bring this a little closer to home. Whose idea was it to create the human form in such a way that a kiss could be so delicious? And he didn't stop there, as only lovers know.

God creates us in his image, with powers like unto his own- the ability to reason, to create, to share intimacy, to know joy. He gives us laughter and wonder and imagination...

THE GREATEST DIGNITY OF ALL

He enables us to love.

He gives us the greatest treasure in all creation: a heart.
