Wouldn't the world be brighter if everyone followed this principle?
As God's creation He invites us to join with him as co-creators, fellow artists who help paint a brighter hope for individuals in need. Being creative and bright need not go hand-in-hand with artistic talent that is rendered on a canvas or blank page- as co-creators we are invited to join in the song of redeeming creation and restoring dignity to a world desperate for meaning. We are ushered in, to preserve and restore the vibrance and hope that faith gives and offer that to our brothers and sisters.
This creative life requires thinking outside of our personal boxes and exploring and seeing the world in a new way... Certainly the gospels are full of creative, inspiring and bright stories---one individual even had to get dirt rubbed in his eyes in order to be healed- this Jesus we follow is not boring or commonplace- he is humorous, loving, and even shocking.
The creative process is unleashed when people are willing to be an istrument in the hands of The Great Artist.

This was a quote on one of the wall of 1st floor this past year: "Art is man's nature. Nature is God's Art." -Philip James Bailey First thing I thought of when I read this.
