1. NEW!

My twin grandsons above, Parker and Hayden, nine months after their Genesis moment. A new book is in the process of creation and I’m led to unfold it in cyberspace as “a work in progress.” Its working title is, “Inyesvation,” each chapter to feature a visual illustration similar to this photograph, along with an appropriate internet link designed to further illustrate the concepts presented. It is a book about innovation, the first chapter titled simply, “New.”

Something New!

Innovate: Introducing, inventing something new or original.

Genesis: The origin, source, creation, or coming into being of something.

“When God began creating the heavens and the earth, the earth was a shapeless, chaotic mass, with the Spirit of God brooding over the dark vapors” (Genesis 1:1-2 TLB).

Created: baaraa': "create, give being to something new" (Barnes’ Notes).

“…obsessing over the history represented by…statistics…being culturally appropriate…but functionally inappropriate…and creating something new is genesis, which comes before history.”

“To be functionally inappropriate is to be dysfunctional.”

"Genesis is 'finding in the chaos beyond culture antidotes for the stagnation of status quo.'” (Orbiting the Giant Hairball, Gordon MacKenzie)

Status Quo: Stagnation.

Antidote: Remedy or Cure.

“The Enthroned continued,
‘Look! I’m making everything new.’”
(Rev. 21:5, The Message)

“Every time we say, ‘Let there be!’ in any form, something happens – Stella Terrill Mann.

“Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now! – Van Goethe.

“Creativity is a drug I cannot live without” – Cecil B. DeMille.

“The creative process is my drug of choice” – Joe Noland.

Creativeness: …simply the act of making something new (Wikipedia).

I never use the term, “out-of-the-box thinking” because with God boxes don’t exist, nary a one to “think out of.”

Out-of-the-box thinking is nonsensical,
It’s absurd, boring, silly and whimsical
Would God be accused of thinking such?
Alas, He wouldn’t have created much.

Boxes non-existent with the all-seeing,
Boundary free when ‘bringing into being.
No old boxes when creating you:
“Behold! I’m making everything new.”

God Boxes: Oxymoron.

There is nothing more exciting, stimulating and emboldening than creating something new – “genius, power and magic in it.”

LET THERE BE!

GodTube: Creation Calls.
