Running towards Creativity

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

I don’t know about you, but one of my favorite things to do is find media that gets my creative juices flowing. Of course, most of what I find today I could never dream of replicating, but it always inspires me to do better in what I do.

This is one of those videos that just makes you sit in wonder and amazement. My jaw hung open for the majority of it. In fact, a lot of the videos from the RE:PLAY or F5 Film Festivals will do that to you.

RE:PLAY FILM FESTIVAL: Shilo “Still Run” from F5 on Vimeo.

Interpret this as you may, but let me ask you: 
Are you running toward creativity like this?  Or have you given up on moving forward with dynamic strides? 
What does this video emote in you? 
When was the last time you were truly inspired?

Check out this website and you’ll be blown away by some of the great stuff you’ll find there.  Now if only everyone could take on this mindset of sharing the love…

Here’s what they have to say for themselves:

StuffICanUse.com is a collection of resources, links, and other materials produced mainly for the student and college/young adult ministries at Southeast Christian Church in Louisville, KY. The idea came from us making sweet stuff for our programs and then it was sitting on someone‘s computer doing nothing, so we decided to setup vineresources.com in order to make our stuff available for you to use in your ministry. We adopted an open source philosophy and decided to give away free swag to you. We hope you can use these resources to help your ministry communicate the love of Jesus.

The Revolution Begins…

I’ve finally done it! After holding out for months and coming up with all kinds of justifications why I shouldn’t enter the world of blogging, I’ve finally taken the leap into the wild blue yonder. Ya, I know what you’re thinking right now, “Does everybody who starts a blog have to begin with a post like this?” Trust me, the same thought has run through my head as I’ve perused other valuable blogs over the past several months.

Nevertheless, here I am posting my obligatory “hey look at me, I’m a noob” blog for the world to see. Call me asinine, but I felt a transition from the world of all-to-safe, immemorable introspection to the realm of immortalized insight we call the “Blogosphere”, to be a necessary evil. This proverbial “first post” serves as my inaugural entrance into the world of blogging (ironically, only hours before our next president makes an entrance of his own).

Don’t let me confuse you, I’m not arrogant enough to imagine that the world waits with bated breath for this post. However, I will commemorate this moment for my own benefit as a leader and therefore—lifelong learner.

The moment I stop learning is the moment I stop leading.

So my hope is that some of you have stumbled upon this blog, not so my ego can be uplifted, but so that your hearts and minds may be encouraged. Perhaps you live by a similar code of continual learning. My perspective may be small in comparison to the great men and women we look to. Yet, what I have, I will give. As we dive into Re(love)utionary Reflections, we’ll look at topics and insights central to leadership, relationship, humanity, and life. In the months and years to come, I look to contribute faith, hope, and love to a global community of individuals searching for just that.

So I guess I better shut up and get started huh?
