		<description><![CDATA[The good news is full of beauty, goodness, and truth.  The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit also exhibit these and many other attributes. Romans Chapter 1 also says men can find God through creation (beauty), conscience (goodness), and truth.

		<description><![CDATA[Thought I&#8217;d share this article (click here), because I&#8217;ve always been fascinated by Tolkien&#8217;s view on Art. Please post if you have any thoughts at all, would love to hear your views on this.
Here&#8217;s a summary:
