voir dire

I respect creativity so much in others because I possess it in no great measure myself. People often call me creative, thinking it synonymous with artistic or because I create things. But it would be more accurate to say that I copy, or recreate.
People who can write books or plays, or invent new tools, or come up with another way of doing things - even they are not truly creative, because it's probably been done before, but they don't know of the previous creation, so for them it is new. These people impress us and inspire us.
God is creative. He can use any materials and circumstances to make whatever he wants. He's never surprised or at a loss of what to do. Now that is impressive.

I'm glad I had no sisters growing up (I'm okay with having them now).

This was supposed to be a bit more focused on me.
