God is a Designer

And yes, I am Mormon.

I don't talk about religion much on this blog. There are too many fights to be had, too much bashing what a person believes without understanding why he believes it. But this week I feel strongly that I need to share a little of what I believe.

I believe in God. I believe that humans were created in the image of God. I believe that God created everything in this universe and that the design is--exquisit.

Because we are created in God's image, we too, are suposed to create. And our designs have the capacity to be exquisit. I believe that we are suposed to work to make our creations closer to God's standard of design. I don't think any of us will achieve that in this life, but we still have to try.

I believe each of us is responsible to use our creative talents to the best of our ability. Some people say they are not creative, or that they lack talents. This is not true. The talents are there, they may be buried by lack of use or by teachings of a harsh system. Some people think they have no skill because they compare themselves to others.

All of the reasons and false logic don't matter.

You were created by God to create and design. Go out and do it.
