Excerpt by Peter Kreeft
"Let me give you a small example of the positive side to this "sense of perspective" that we get from invoking His name. The other day He reminded me to speak His name while I was painting an unimportant piece of porch wood, and I suddenly saw that what I was doing was not just painting a porch, but painting a portrait, myself, I was walking home to Him. Each brush stroke was a small step to Heaven. Heaven was here in this old porch, too. For all beauty, even this tiny bit of it that I was making, is His, is like Him; beauty is one of the things He is, and all earthly beauty is a sunbeam of His sun.
I remembered the story of two men hauling stones through a muddy medieval street. One was cursing and the other was singing. A traveler asked them what they were doing. The curser replied, "I'm trying to get this damned rock to roll through this damned mud!"
The singer replied, "I'm building a cathedral."
