Thankful for photobooth...& how Steve Jobs reflects God.

Loved this article by John Dyer on the Gospel Coalition on "Steve Jobs, the Allure of Technology, and the Image of God."  

Without God's creativity and Jobs' utilization of God's gifts, my life would lack the opportunity to technologically entertain myself for an hour...

Or to have fun with sweet Bella on a lazy Saturday afternoon...

And a late Friday night...

And make this face...

And this one...

...okay, no more embarrassing myself.

"...when humans engage in acts of creativity...

they cannot escape bringing honor to the creativity of God 

who molded them from dust."

God has a tendency (more like an intention) of taking dust--fallenness, unholiness, unworthiness, brokenness--and turning it into something that glorifies Himself by covering our wretchedness and replacing our selfishness with the Holy Spirit--in light of Christ's work.  

"So when we see creations of great skill, ingenuity, and beauty---

all of which describe the collective works of Jobs---

we are presented with an opportunity to praise the God of whose 

skill, ingenuity, and beauty they are but a dim reflection."

The work of ingenuity and creation is of God.

Read of the genius and insightfulness of God manifested in John Dyer here
