Sorry...this was an attempt from my IPad and didn't work. Hmmm....
Just a quick thought about the arts... they move us, they make our hearts soar, they cause us to laugh and cry. They are what distinguishes us as children of God. They are a gift.
Yet, when it comes to the funding and providing for the Arts, they are always the first to go. Please don't let the Arts become roadkill to the skills that produce a bottom line. Please remember what it was like when your mom put your finger painting of a bird up on the refrigerator door. Please don't just support the Arts but become an advocate for Artistic expression among children and adults.
The Arts can never pay for themselves, but maybe not everything in our society should be market driven. The Arts remind us of the extravagance of God's economy.
