Steve,  I missed this earlier, and I'm sorry I did.  What a great 
sentiment!  When my oldest was still being hsed, he was introduced to G. 
K. Chesterton through a book about his writings on the arts, /Christian 
Imagination:  GK Chesterton on the Arts.   /This book, followed by 
Chesterton's actual writings, followed by Madaline L'Engle's /Walking on 
Water:  Reflections on Faith and the Arts/ and several other books that 
I couldn't keep up with really formed the basis for his artistic 
consciousness.  He's a writer, a filmmaker, a musician, a puppeteer, and 
an actor.  

What I've learned from him is that God gave us the desire to create, 
just as He created.  As puppeteers/artists, we create our own worlds, 
people, animals, etc.  Remarkable!
