Creativity?

I find that I'm not a very creative person, but I wish I was. I wish I had creativity sparked within me every once and a while. Occasionally it comes out but I'm not sure where it comes from and I'm unsure how to hold on to it for any significant amount of time. Creativity within humanity is often spoken of as one of the distinguishers of the Image of God. Of all of creation only humans are creative. A given bird species will not depart from its standard song, it does not create but reproduces. So creativity is down there deep inside of us all. But some have the ability to hold onto it for significant periods of time. How do they do it? What do you do to spark creativity inside you? Do you consider yourself creative? Any thoughts on how to form this inside yourself or others, primarily me?

Edit: That last statement of "primarily me" was intended to be a joke with a hint of seriousness but sounds a little self absorbed. That was not intended.

Usually in these spaces you can expect some pithy phrase or a piece of personal information, both of which are intended to reflect the individual. Currently I do not desire to provide either. However I will tell you what you can expect to find on this blog or whatever they are called these days. You will find pithy phrases and pieces of personal information. You will also find my musings about life, generally spiritual issues of the Christian nature (however I don't think you will need to be a Christian to always get something out of it).

I hope you enjoy this blog.
