As I've noted before, any church I find in Cincinnati is going to be Red River Junior in my mind for a while, and there's no displacing such an amazing group of beloved brothers and sisters from their perch in my heart in such a short time. The church I've been attending is getting closer, though--I think it's safe to say I've found my people.
Probably not these on a Sunday morning, either. Source: Radu Fizesan on freeimages.com. |
And despite all the exhortation that the worship time is corporate and participatory, there's a lot of sitting quietly on Sunday mornings--I did most of my sermon-time creating back when I was young enough to be kept occupied with crayons and paper. One reason I got in the habit of tweeting particularly resonant things that the minister says is to make sure I'm engaging my brain. I'm not sure that counts as creation, except that I'm adding to the noise of 21st-century life. Not the creation I was going for, but maybe right now that's the best I can do.
How do you make your Sundays an act of creation?

My sister actually brings her sketch book & draws during the worship service, sometimes using the day's topic as inspiration. It's not for everyone (I prefer a few idle doodles mixed around my notes) but I do enjoy seeing what she creates.
I love that! Maybe I'll try it. I don't draw much, so I guess this is as good a time as any to practice.
