In A Fallen World, If You Demand

There Are Various Art Forms We May Or May Not Have Talent For, May Or May Not Have Time For, And We May Or May Not Be Able To Express Ourselves In, But We Ought To Consider This Fact-that Whether We Choose To Be An Environment Or Not, We Are. We Produce An Environment Other People Have To Live In. We Should Be Conscious Of The Fact That This Environment Which We Produce By Our Very 'being' Can Affect The People Who Live With Us Or Work With Us.

A Christian, Who Realizes He Has Been Made In The Image Of The Creator God And Is Therefore Meant To Be Creative On A Finite Level, Should Certainly Have More Understanding Of His Responsibility To Treat God's Creation With Sensitivity, And Should Develop His Talents To Do Something To Beautify His Little Spot On The Earth's Surface.

Everyone Who Has Any Talent At All In Sketching, Painting, Sculpturing Or Carving, Should Have The Opportunity To Use That Talent. The Expression Is Important For The Person, And Can Tremendously Enrich The Lives Of Other People. What Can You Do?

It Seems To Me That Whether It Is Recognized Or Not, There Is A Terrific Frustration Which Increases In Intensity And Harmfulness As Time Goes On, When People Are Always Daydreaming Of The Kind Of Place In Which They Would Like To Live, Yet Never Making The Place Where They Do Live Into Anything Artistically Satisfying To Them. Always To Dream Of A Cottage By A Brook While Never Doing Anything To The Stuffy House In The City Is To Waste Creativity In This Very Basic Area, And To Hinder Future Creativity By Not Allowing It To Grow And Develop Through Use.

The Thing About Real Life Is That Important Events Don't Announce Themselves... Usually Something That Is Going To Change Your Whole Life Is A Memory Before You Can Stop And Be Impressed About It.
