art in community...art as lifestyle

jen has a great post on living our lives as ART...living with purpose and beauty, with love and giving, seeing beauty and creating it as we go along...
check out her post
and if you're emerging in san diego next week, or in nashville in may....we'll be doing community
art in each of the learning communities each day...the art will be related to the topic/theme of the day..like church, truth, scripture, and humanity.

also there will be a separate space just for art worship/creation!

so don't just listen to words or just sing while your in san diego...actually create and express what god is doing in you and be willing to try something new ....

everyone is creative! everyone can live ART...cause the creator god gave us his gift...we just need to allow him to work in us and be willing to pick up a brush, a marker, a pencil or pound on some clay...

so even if you are not heading to emergent....do something creative today and next week...
cook, bake, draw, build a snowman...see your world with new eyes and look for the art around you and the artist in you!!!

btw....coloring in a coloring book is total therapy!
and you emergent folks....encourage those around you next week to jump into the fun of creating!
and check out the art room (as well as the prayer room and the labyrinth) don't get sooooo busy meeting and greeting that you miss time alone with yourself and jesus!

In honor of your post, I am going to go out and buy some new crayons and sparkly pens. Sparkly pens are TRULY therapeutic. If Staples had a coffee bar, I'd never ever leave...
