Have been looking at what the Bible says about Creation and Evolution with my Bible study group this week and my mind went back to this performance poem written by me. I originally posted it on the 1st February back in 2008 in response to some stuff written by Glenn Jordan over on Crookedshore, but it was first written to be performed (brilliantly) by Sharon Morwood, (now Thompson), at the Waterfront Hall as part of "Genesis", a 10th Anniversary event by New Irish Arts, inspired by the first chapter of the Bible. New Irish Arts continues to try and prompt and support Christians with a creative bent, and have now instituted a "Christian Creatives" event at the Oasis Cafe in East Belfast on the last Tuesday evening of each month. Haven't made it along myself yet but I hope to soon. If the image of the creator is imprinted on us, male and female, then we are all, in one way or another created to create... Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror of a morning ...

Just a quickie too remind you that with Advent upon us Glenn over at Crookedshore has cranked up The Mockingbird's Leap for a second year. If you are a mockingbird virgin I'll let you explore the site itself to explain the origin of the name, but the idea is that a whole series of bloggers note the little glimmers of God's grace that they see around them during this Advent season. It may prompt you to be more attentive on your pilgimage to Bethlehem this year. Shalom
