I need a day informed by eternity, eternity in the minutiae. The vastness of the universe and the expanse of eternity have to provide either tremendous significance or extreme insignificance to the human experience of hours and days and decades. And this is exactly the choice we face in the birth-incarnation of Jesus, called Immanuel ('God with us'): is eternity a sign of hope or of despair to us? Does the universe speak of nothingness or of the Transcendent? Are we statistically-induced specks or treasured creatures in a bountiful Creator's expression of majesty?
