Art as Worship?

Posted on Apr 20th, 2008 by Chris : Passionate Follower of Christ Chris
I see art as a form of worship. It is a way to create a thing of beauty, in the same way that the Creator made us in His image. I realized this after I read this quote by Charlotte Cushman:

        "To me it seems as if when God conceived of the world, that was Poetry; He formed it, that             was Sculpture; He colored it and that was Painting; He peopled it with living beings and that         was the grand, divine, eternal Drama."

Another thing I realized long ago, is that of all Creation, humans are the only ones touched by God. He spoke the Universe into existence, but He reached down and sculpted humans out of the dirt and breathed Life into them. By painting, we try to replicate the colors He used. By sculpting, we try to mimic His Art. This just goes to show how everything we do is meant to Worship the Divine Artist.

New Card Game

Posted on Apr 18th, 2008 by Chris : Passionate Follower of Christ Chris
Today I was at Walmart and saw the most interesting and promising new game. It was War, but with a twist. The suits were changed to Peace, Love, Unity, and Diversity. The Joker was the most heavily armed card, and it was the weakest so you wanted to get rid of it. Very promising. Just thought I'd share.
