Capturing All There Is - Artistic

Greetings Dear Reader,

I inch toward a goal.  My dream is to make my living only through writing.  With a new book on the shelves I will turn toward some marketing while trying to set a pace of one new book per year.  To do all of this will require time that I give to other things that are less productive.   

This will take planning and dedication.   I will spend some time planning out the writing but that is at times subject to the boys in the basement and random think worms.  What I can control is my own discipline in the work.  What I can contribute is priority and effort.

Paul tells us that whatever we set out to do we must do with our whole heart to God.  When I schedule time for writing I must give my all.  I must see it as an act of worship using a gift I was given by God.  I must render every word as if I am crafting a gift for the King.

I must also revisit other artistic abilities and find their place in my life.  Things that I can do to create for the Creator deserve my time.  Things that I can render to make the world a more beautiful place or things that further the message of Jesus are worth my time and effort.

Creativity is the dance in the journey.  I get to contribute verses to the one song with my creativity.  I get to render a little order from chaos that may help others.  That is a good thing.  We are all part of the dance.  I must assure that I give my best in the steps that I take. 

The Dance – Kemper Crabb

All creation moves in a cosmic Dance

Before the Lord her King

And the rhythms, the reason, the rhyme

Of the dance pulses within everything

And the universe wheels and whirls like

A dervish in perfect seven-step time.

The Lord made the Dance,

He taught her the steps, and He

Causes the songs to shine.

We must dance, dance, dance

Dance in God's honor.

We must yield all of our steps unto the King

We must dance, dance, dance

Dance in God's honor.

Let His praises ring throughout the earth.

Adam and Eve danced in Eden's environs

early`in earth's morning air

They named all the animals musical names

Glorious potentiality shared.

But Lucifer sang out a serpentine song

And he offered death's dance as a token.

In pausing to listen, Adam missed his step

Earth's harmony in the dance broken.

We must dance, dance, dance

Dance in God's honor.

We must yield all of our steps unto the King

We must dance, dance, dance

Dance in God's honor.

Let His praises ring throughout the earth.

Jesus danced into the world.

Singing his heavenly song.

He taught the dance to those who would

Listen and learn as He moved along.

But the steps of His dance led to a cross

Where He died as the haters mocked on.

But he danced through death's arms

And over hell's gate and in three days

Danced forth from his tomb.

We must dance, dance, dance

Dance in God's honor.

We must yield all of our steps unto the King

We must dance, dance, dance

Dance in God's honor.

Let His praises ring throughout the earth.

Wishing you joy in the journey,

Aramis Thorn

Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure store.”
