1. Would you call yourself “creative”? Why or why not?
Sure. Anyone who can become a pastor as a third career must have some kinda creative streak.. My creative streak comes out in my music, my photography, my writing, my practical jokes, and… life!

2. Share a creative or artistic pursuit you currently do that you’d like to develop further.
I love quilting. I have materials picked, and some blocks cut for a log cabin quilt. Someday, when I’m not writing papers, chauffeuring my sweet girls, cleaning or cooking or doing whatever else it is I do… I might finish it. Maybe in time for a grandchild’s hope chest. (There’s a reasonable goal!)

3. Share a creative or artistic pursuit you have never done but would like to try.
Throwing pots. I love the metaphor.

4. Complete this sentence: “I am in awe of people who can _____________.”
…draw anything beyond a stick figure.

5. Share about a person who has encouraged your creativity, who has “called you to your best self.” (I’m pretty sure that’s from the Gospel of Oprah.)
It’s a tie… my husband and my mom. Their faith in me and encouragement has helped me go the distance…

And now… back to work! A paper to upload and about 100 pages of Greek exegesis to unravel… I am feeling a wee bit clueless on that!
