Get Used to It

I'll never say I can't again! This is an amazing clip of an amazing artist.

Storms of Life

This art video created a myriad of obstacles. But I finally got them workout. Here's the finished product. I hope it proves to be a blessing to you. Thanks for watching.

Clutter or Creative?

A cluttered desk is a sign of genius.

I thought it was a sign of laziness or carelessness until I talked with some artists and writers who confirm that it is definitely a sign of creativeness. Seems we creative types neglect filing our work in fear of forgetting it.

So Do It

"To practice any art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow. So do it." ~Kurt Vonnegut.

Many people feel they have no creative ability whatsoever. Yet, we all perform many creative tasks throughout our day. My husband, for example, loves to cook. What he does with crabcakes, grilled chicken, and pasta definitely fall into the creative aspect of life. He even presents his entrees with pizzazz. He is a food artist.

Some people are creative in problem solving. Others flourish in organization. Still others find unique ways to entertain guests.

Not the "creative" arts, you say.

Really?

Creativity comes in many packages. Just take a stroll through a craft store. Not everyone likes paints, brushes, and canvases (my personal aisle). Not everyone excels in music or in the performing arts either. But we all have a niche to release our creative flow. God handed us each a cupful of creativity to make our souls grow.

What's your niche? How have you been using it to glorify God?

See you in a twinkling,

 No other bird seems to inspire poets and artists alike more than the American Bald Eagle.

He is majestic and powerful. 

Is there any wonder why he symbolizes our faith in God?
