Meeting ID: 931 8740 2401 Passcode: 345554 In this season of waiting or Advent we should take time to contemplate the miraculous all around us –– the simplicity in new-born infants, the beauty in nature, the order in the universe, the interconnected global human family. These cannot be explained by reason or science alone but are mysteries that deserve our reverence and which only the eyes of the soul can see. Dr. Brian Smith is the Religion Professor Emeritus from Ripon College.
