             In the beginning there was a story. A world entered light, life, and took shape. Once upon a time imagination entered everyday people young and old, and tales true and made up took form. In a galaxy far, far, away we escaped for a time, then came back to reality as we learned that leaving ordinary lives sometimes is okay; as long as we come back. Came back with that blessed desire to create something truly life-giving from the refreshing we received on our creativity sabbatical.                Be fruitful and multiply, in Jesus' name. You were made in His likeness to create, and what you carry is His gift to you; just let Him show you how as you listen to, and follow Him in the creative process.  Sidenote: If any of the writing on this blog has made a good impact on your life in someway (EVEN if it was something you may have enjoyed reading for a particular reason), please feel free to share thi...

        In your mess, embrace the chaos. In the unfinished, don't panic; don't let it discourage you either. Building anything new or different is messy. Creating what we're unfamiliar with is never neat, organized, or ever smooth. This is where it all happens: the blessed thing that is becoming reality, and with it a new grace to create not known before.            Keep creating boldly, intentionally, strategically, and especially prayerfully; and don't give up if that good and constructive thing looks like an unmanageable mess at first (no matter how long that is). Just create that thing in Jesus' name, that good and constructive thing, letting Him lead you through it all.  Sidenote: If any of the writing on this blog has made a good impact on your life in someway (EVEN if it was something you may have enjoyed reading for a particular reason), please feel free to share this blog with someone else who could be blessed also.

              This is a letter, from a modern-day man, to one who may need this. Here I am writing once again, of creating and hoping as you do. This is a message, to someone somewhere, hoping you don't quit, especially when it's tough and creativity doesn't happen easily. This is a word, a surprising "word for someone" that you have a gift, one that can help others (and will help you too), that is good and constructive and will bring others to Jesus. This is an attempt to reach out, hoping it finds you well, and if it doesn't it helps you be well, remembering you aren't alone. Jesus is calling you, calling you to create, find healing and give it (as He gives, works, and leads you), remembering you can create still in a way that speaks of Him (however that looks).  Sidenote: If any of the writing on this blog has made a good impact on your life in someway (EVEN if it was something you may have enjoyed reading for a particular reason), please feel ...
