Creativity is a beautiful and mind boggling thing.  I love to revel in the expressive power of a building, a story, a painting or photograph.  Beyond their face value appearance they have so much ability to speak beyond the bore of outlines and pie charts.  While on first blush Erik Johansson’s photography slaps the viewer with a reverberant, “What is going on?”, it easily translates into a question I find much more challenging: “What is being said?”

I love the theology and thoughts James K. A. Smith produces.  Where for others readability hints at a shallow pool from which to draw, Smith’s writing for me has just the opposite effect.  Today I really appreciated the attention of such a deep thinker being turned to praise bands.  Good stuff.  May the church be wooed back to worship that is both formative and expressive.
