2 - Confessions 1 & 2

God has invited all of us to the creative process: creativity is not a personality trait, rather it’s how you observe and interact with the world around you. God saw chaos, and His response was to create both beauty and order. This is the calling for which we should all strive: to say ‘yes’ to th...
