The New Orleans was moored about 300 yards from the USS Arizona (BB-39) and he watched that ship sink. The New Orleans crew hoisted the ammunition, aimed and fired the 5-inch anti-aircraft guns manually. He was manning one gun mount and remembers the ship shot down several Japanese aircraft. He heard the ship’s Chaplain, Howell Forgy, encouraging crew members to praise the Lord, and pass the ammunition.

Therefore, when God's truth is suppressed there is a corresponding loss of beauty both in ourselves and in our world. Paul encourages us to consider the aesthetic implications of sin in Romans 1:18-23 so that we will understand that not only is sin illogical, it also is unappealing. It is an anti-aesthetic that robs our lives and world of divine beauty."
