Creativity in Imagination

Creativity embraces imagination and wonder, reflecting God’s divine creativity as described in Ephesians 3:20-21.
 
Just as God shaped the world with infinite imagination and power, our creativity mirrors this divine spark. When we create, we participate in this beautiful act of creation, letting our imagination and wonder transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.
 
Through creativity, we tap into a deeper connection with the divine, exploring boundless possibilities and bringing new ideas to life.  It is a powerful reminder that we are made in the image of a creative God, capable of envisioning and crafting beauty in our own unique ways.
 
Embrace your creative spirit and let it flourish. Allow your imagination to soar, creating wonders that reflect the divine creativity within you. 
 
Creativity in Imagination: Creativity embraces imagination and wonder, mirroring God's creative imagination in shaping the world (Ephesians 3:20-21).

Calvin Miller on Writing

Embark on the sacred pilgrimage of writing! Dr. Calvin Miller’s words illuminate the solitary path that writers tread yet within the solitude of the page, they discover a profound connection.
 
As you journey through the vast expanse of creativity, know that you are never truly alone. With each stroke of your pen, you forge bonds with kindred spirits—writers past, present, and future—who walk alongside you in spirit.
 
In the hushed sanctuary of the blank page, you commune with the divine, channeling inspiration from realms unseen. 🙏💭 Let the silence speak volumes, let the ink flow like a sacred river, as you navigate the depths of your soul and explore the mysteries of existence.
 
Embrace the solitude as a sanctuary, a space where imagination dances freely and the voice of the divine whispers its secrets.  For within the solitude of the page, you discover not isolation, but a sanctuary where souls unite and truths are revealed.
 
A writer's journey is a solitary one, but in the solitude of the page, they find companionship with kindred spirits and communion with the divine - Dr. Calvin Miller
 
 
Note: In early 1979 Calvin Miller entered my life. I was a student at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Dr. Miller spoke at a chapel service. The simplicity of his sermon  amazed me. I wasn’t sure if it was the storytelling or the beauty and relevance of his prose. I bought his Singer Trilogy. I remember thinking I have found the American CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien. In the late 1980s I attended a writer’s conference at Ridgecrest, North Carolina where he was one of the teachers/speakers. He agreed to mentor me for a few months. The mentorship (at his suggestion) was simply agreeing to read my weekly newsletter column and give a few suggestions. The results were my church members noticed and commented on an improvement in my writing of the column. Dr. Miller’s best advice was do your best with everything you write, even a weekly church newsletter column. He told me how he had written his weekly pastoral column and his editor saw in it a a future book – The Phillipian Fragment.
