Bob Ross and God

Remember Bob Ross, the eccentric (at least he appeared so to a farm kid from a red state) artist who took a blank piece of canvas and transformed it before our eyes into a scene of inviting beauty?

This morning, I watched the sun rise again– a habit that is forming now that our bedroom window faces the eastern sky – and I watched as a relatively unattractive horizon of blurry shapes gave way to spectacular light. A blank canvas (well, not exactly, but work with me :) transformed into the beauty in which we all live. Amazing!
