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.

It Is Not Necessary To Have An Extravagant Food Budget In Order To Serve Things With Variety And Tastefully Cooked. It Is Not Necessary To Have Expensive Food On The Plates Before They Can Enter The Dining Room As Things Of Beauty In Colour And Texture.

There Is Something About Saying, 'we Always Do This,' Which Helps Keep The Years Together. Time Is Such An Elusive Thing That If We Keep On Meaning To Do Something Interesting, But Never Do It, Year Would Follow Year With No Special Thoughtfulness Being Expressed In Making Gifts, Surprises, Charming Table Settings, And Familiar, Favorite Food.

Human Beings Are Very Unbalanced And Prone To Go Off On Tangents. In Every Area Of Life- With Too Great Emphasis On One Thing, Leaving Out Another Important Thing Altogether. None Of Us Will Ever Be Perfectly Balanced In Our Spiritual Lives, Our Intellectual Lives, Our Emotional Lives, Our Family Lives, In Relationships With Other Human Beings, Or In Our Business Lives. But We Are Challenged To Try, With The Help Of God. We Are Meant To Live In The Scriptures.

Is A Christian- One Who Communicates Daily With The Creator- To Divorce Himself From The Things God Created And Intended Man To Have, And Which Demonstrate The Fact That Man Has Been Made In The Image Of God? In Other Words, Are We Who Have Been Made In The Image Of Our Creator To Be Less Creative Than Those Who Do Not Know The Creator? The Christian Should Have More Vividly Expressed Creativity In His Daily Life.
