Boondoggle... I had thoughts of working at Summer Camp today. The many hours spent re-teaching myself how to do boondoggle, teaching it to 5-8 yr olds (not easy), becoming addicted to the art, and then ignoring the kids. Like most cycles, it was a vicious one. Sadly, I am back to having to re-teach myself how to do it...again. I (somehow) have all of these spools of boondoggle and nothing to do with them... It reminds me of one of my favorite songs from the musical, "Children of Eden." Here is an excerpt:

The spark of creation, may it burn forever
The spark creation, I am a keeper of the flame
We think all we want is a lifetime leisure
Each perfect day the same Endless vacation
Well that's alright if you're a kind crustacean
But when you're born with an imagination
Sooner of later you're feeling the fire get hotter and higher
The spark of creation!!!

So, go out and create something!! Exercise the gifts and talents that God gave you and discover your spark of creation, for some inspiration, check out this girl singing Spark of Creation. She has an incredible voice.
