Art, Religion, and Entertainment: A Quote

It has been said that in ancient Greece, art killed religion; later in Christian Europe, religion killed art. That alone is worth some reflection. But we can add that in modern America, entertainment is killing both art and religion--a situation that leaves very little space for the Christian artist.

Feelings (preferences, mood) should stem from logical actions--not the other way around.

Returned

Well, we're back. Thanks for your prayers. God blessed our endeavors immensely. The trip to Haiti was a whirlwind of airports, work, friends, heat, and miracles. I should have some picture up shortly.

Please pardon my infrequent posting--I'm trying to graduate in a month :)
