The Power of a Creative Being
The power of Creation never ceases to amaze me. Just stop for a moment
and look around on a warm summer night. Think about the scale of power
demonstrated by the hurricane or tornado. Marvel at the underground
caverns. Above all these things, imagine a Creative Force that creates
other beings capable of creation. Look at the birds that create
elaborate nests. Marvel at the spider’s web. But even then, you can
wonder at the creative power of a human.
The funny thing is, humans express creativity in all sorts of ways– some humorous!
You see here the reported world’s largest building made of LEGO pieces in Guenzburg, southern Germany.
Now, I used to play with the space set of LEGOs and have even dabbled a
little bit with the Knight set, and I may get into it again if my
children begin to like them.
I’ve never created something this big, though.
When I was in England, many years back, they had a lifesized set of an
Alice In Wonderland scene that was pretty impressive. I believe
Harrods also had a lifesized soldier on display. I can’t image the
amount of effort and planning that went into the 4209 working hours of
construction. Can you imagine the size of the instruction book? I bet
that it doesn’t specify how to assemble the thing piece by piece.
Don’t
look now, but the final episode of Star Wars is coming out soon. Did
you ever own your own costume for a series? I mean, I think I can
remember dressing up like C-3PO in one of those chincy plastic
holloween costumes a long time ago. It takes a serious fan to actually
rent or borrow an outfit that could be mistaken for the original!
I personally like the fact that even a child can hold up the evil force
of the dark side. Don’t let the gun control people find this picture,
though.
I don’t know when I’ll see this last episode. Virtuous Blonde isn’t as fond of science fiction as I am, so it may be a while.
Unfortunately, humans don’t just create works of “art” like LEGO sculptures and movies. They also create strife.
This
is President Bush’s nomination for the position of US representative to
the UN, John Bolton. He’s been known to be a conservative that doesn’t
like the way the UN is operated, and would be a reformer of the body.
Personally, I’m not a big fan of the UN. I don’t think that nations
that are the size of Rhode Island should have as big a say as the US.
I don’t think that people with human rights violations in grand display
happening in their country should be ones that are trying to regulate
things on other countries.
I think that it’s possible that the Anti-Christ may come to be leader of the UN– especially if it gets more power.
All of that aside, I think that be it a problem that some senators have
with this man since he doesn’t support normalization with Cuba, or if
the accusations are true that he’s rough with those under them
demanding results– neither of these things disqualifies the man. In
fact, it may recommend him more. We in America have beomce lazy in
some sectors. Part of the 9/11 attacks are because of our laziness.
We need someone that demands results.
Hope you all have a great weekend!
