Question: WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PROJECT?

Transcript of Video:

Two things I really enjoy are photography and baking, especially baking bread. And I enjoy these things for two reasons. One, they’re very generative and very creative. They’re hands on, eyes on and I’m using my heart and my eyes and my senses and for the bread making, my sense of smell.

Something I also really value is there’s closure on these things. My life, and maybe it’s true for you, has a lot of interaction with people. And all of us are works in progress, and there’s never closure; I never come to an end. But having some avocational things that are creative, generative, and which I can finish and say – not unlike what we read in the Genesis Creation account – “This is it and it’s good, it’s terrific,” makes all the difference.
