It is a sad world. A distressful world. A sometimes wretched and rancorous world. But it is also, simultaneously—most certainly, just as surely—a beautiful world. A BEAUTIFUL world…the Creator of Heaven and Earth hovers near, unseen but fully present, weeping with us in our grievous sorrows, rejoicing in our exultant joys. World without end. Amen. 

---Ken Sehested, Circle of Mercy sermon 11.9.25
