It's Useful

       It's useful and it's not, the middle between beginning and finishing. It's helpful and it's not, that mess on the way through the two places, one moment we don't usually stay in.... until today anyway, this way I stay in for a short while. It makes a way through the unfashioned and unformed, creates something we don't see, only the mess before amazing happens. The canvas with strange painting minus key colors. The song with only a chorus. The meat with fat drained off in the cooking, combined with a sauce described as sloppy, added to another strange yet delicious meal way; here I'm looking at the process in the middle between. 

         It's useful to make great and good, shape what doesn't look useful for a time, and create something beyond just a finished creation (whatever that is). It's not as it brings out the impatience in us, drains out what isn't good, and makes a finished created good in more ways than one; something we find later was useful all along, just not welcome. It never is. It's amazing in this strange process of a creative process that looks anything but creative, or good, while being so all along; and that is the BEST part of it all as we live and truly "be fruitful and multiply" as Jesus calls us to in following Him in such a creative way. It's useful.

Trial And Error (How To Grow)

              Over the years I've had to work past the fear of failure (the fear of trying even). I'd like to say I've mastered this area; I'd like to be honest even more though. Everything has been trial and error over the years. Here's how to do this thing. Here's how to think. Here's how to feel. Here's how to believe this or that, and so on.               It's been exhausting at times, and more than once even defeating when the floor of failure is hit. There remains the temptation to not get back up again in those moments (we've all been there). One thing in growing through trial and error though is to REMEMBER what's good (what's worked). We can get lost in what hasn't and believe the lie that NOTHING will. We must remember that it doesn't have to be perfect, that there must simply be some sort of forward motion (and this can look different for us all). Sometimes (many times) it isn't always an actual action...

How (Poetry)

        This poem (below) is written in response to a writing prompt recently given where you have to describe the taste of a surprising food in the most creative way. Enjoy. How (Poetry) How does one describe such a taste, from such an unassuming fruit? How does one give explanation to such a tiny thing? Just write as you think, A slap in the face, then the kindest hug; this is how to describe a Kiwi's taste.

This Is A Letter

              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 ...
