IN THE BEGINNING, GOD CREATED.

When we create something, we are partnering with God Himself in bringing new things into being. The ultimate purpose of the act of creation, therefore, is to glorify the original and ultimate Creator by producing things of life and truth and wholeness and beauty. My aim as a writer is to depict the glory of God as clearly and as eloquently as possible, and to take on His creative nature as a vocation and an inheritance. It is through His grace and the redemptive death and resurrection of His Son, Jesus, that we are privileged to share in this sacred calling to give birth to beauty.

I believe God plants a vision of beauty in the heart of every person called to create that produces an intense longing for something that never quite materialises. One day, I will discover that the vision God has planted in my heart is the deepest and grandest of them all - a vision of Himself, the Love-Lord and Creator-King of all the beauty that has ever been made.

Keep Watch - Remembrance Day Poem #2

Keep watch, they said, on the misted fields and drizzle-damp of Marne.

Strain your sight for the shift in light and raise a quick alarm.

God help you now; for if you sleep, the devil will be to pay –

So look for sudden glints of gold gleaming through the grey.

Keep watch today. With sinew, strength, and singleness of mind,

Discover deep delightful things that blaze for all mankind

In beauty bright; a blinding light that liberates the blind.

Keep watch for the clarity of Christ that any man may find.
