The Recap of Tuesday

So today I wore my red dancing shoes to work.

That was awesome.

But I also got a wicked new sketch-book, Mom brought me a red rose out of nowhere, and Staci and I got to eat chicken fajitas for dinner with Jesus.

How was your day?

It affirms divine order in the universe and justice in human affairs and makes people better than they were before they read it. If artists are more gifted than ordinary mortals (we keep hearing that they are), they should find order and harmony in human experience. That's what Bach and Handel did.
