"The Fourth Heaven" is a reference to the Divine Comedy, by Dante Alighieri. I picked that reference, in part, because I am a fourth--that is, I am the fourth in a direct family line to bear my name. (Delta is the fourth letter of the Greek alphabet--hence my Display Name.) In addition, in the "Paradiso," the Fourth Heaven (described in Cantos X-XIV) is the sphere of the Theologians and Fathers of the Church. I would not presume to place myself on the same level as those greats, represented in the first circle by the eminent St. Thomas of Aquinas, but I am very interested in both philosophy and theology; so the reference fits. Finally the Fourth Heaven is the circle of the Sun. The image of the earth revolving around the sun (anachronistic, I know) is a reminder to me of my own proper place in the cosmos, revolving about and centered around "The Son," to whom is due all glory and honor and praise. -- The photograph is from the garden at C.S.

Master 253: Illuminated 'E'

This is the second in my series of illuminated letters. I'll only post one more after this one. That will have to do for a while.

God is in this place,
And that reality, seen and understood by the grace of God in Christ Jesus through the work of the Holy Spirit, makes all the difference in the world.
