I read a simple observation this week that continues to haunt me: Walk into a first grade classroom and ask the kids to raise their hand if they can draw. All of the kids will raise their hand. Ask if they can sing. All of the kids raise their hand. Ask if they can dance. All of the kids raise their hand. Ask them if they can read and only some will raise their hand. Now do the same exercise with a ninth grade classroom. The results are opposite- the only time they all raise their hands is when asked about reading.
Einstein said that imagination is more important than knowledge. Where does our extreme capacity for imagination go?
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us... Eph 3:20.
