Jack’s Winning Words 5/2/07
“God is really only another artist. He made the elephant, giraffe and cat. He has not real style, but keeps trying new ideas.” (Picasso) This thought just went through my mind: What would you look like, if Picasso were God? But God is God, and we are who we are, for better or worse. Who among us is an art critic? ;-) Jack

FROM FRIEND, G.L.: We are all "work in progress" aren't we?

FROM S.H. IN MICHIGAN: For a long time I never could understand, Pastor Freed, why Picasso's people had eyes all over the place and noses, profiles so funny until I read that he was trying to capture all the dimensions of his models seen from all angles of perspective. I believe he did actually say this but he might have been actually fooling himself in that actually for him God was/is the truest of artists and Picasso was trying to be an artist in His Image able to see the whole picture of who his models were/are. Actually the effort came out pretty primitive but I admire it nevertheless. Anyone who is making the struggle and not just trying to do something for money or shock, etc., etc., etc. is another pilgrim person actually trying to think and relate. That's my 2 cents on this one

FROM REV. J.S. IN MICHIGAN: Who among us is a God critic?

FROM N.L. IN FLORIDA: WHAT IS GOD? I LOOK AS GOD AS ALL THE SOLAR SYSTEM, EARTH, AND WHAT IT IS ALL MADE OF AND A LOT OF LUCK.

FROM P.H. IN THE TWIN CITIES: Picasso came home one day and saw two robbers running out of his house. When the police came, he drew them a picture of the two robbers. The next day the police arrested a lawn mower and a sewing machine!

FROM B.G. IN MICHIGAN: Are you suggesting that the process of creation is an ongoing reality, and that God is not yet done with his creative handiwork? If you are, I am agreement with you J.

FROM J.T. IN MICHIGAN: Having seen some of Picasso's work I am very grateful that he is not GOD!!!
