What do you do when you are bored? Read, watch tv, Netflix, exercise, cook, mess around in the garage, work in the yard, sit at your computer…

I know something even better… no not sex. I know one thing that makes everything better… but its also the one thing that most people don’t want you to do.

I want to be practical today. We are all quarantined and maybe bored (I am not- lots of books to read and write) but I hear about it from many. 

 

What makes everything better? Creativity. 

 

Gods creativity: God created us a new creation.

We are in the image of God: which means we have his creative gene. It is in our DNA

 

we tend to think that creativity is details and complex and multiple thoughts and ideas multiplied and mixed…

The most creative ideas are simple.

The most creative people keep it simple. 

Now that doesn’t mean there won’t be a lot of steps to make it happen, but the idea itself and the creativity itself is simple. You want to be thought of as creative? Make things simple. The upside down ketchup bottle… why did that take 100 years to invent. I always open up my protein jug and wonder why they don’t just put a little scooper clip/sleeve on the inside of the cap. So the scoop is always right where you want it. Simple, easy, probably some steps to take to reset the molds to do that - so yes there are some details, but a great idea and simple. And yes its my idea!

How do I know God not only made us creative but also trusts our creativity? He gave Adam and Eve the right to name the animals. Creation starts with creativity in the hands of man… and Not just a few, but all of them… and they nailed it.
