The Power of Naivety

I used to blog a lot; I did it before it was cool. Actually, I did it before it was called blogging. I have always been on the edge of technology. I learned all of this from my late Grandfather who challenged me to continue to look for the new things of tomorrow and capitalize on them today. I remember when I first learned that lesson, too;

When I was younger I played with Lego building blocks. I had lots of legos and I would build various objects, castles, spaceships, etc. My imagination would run as I sat in this little world that was falling apart as I built objects to make it better. I liked constructing so much that for much of my childhood I felt that I was going to grow up and design large buildings that changed the world.

My world was a world full of brick people; a world full of fantasy and futuristic creations. I am happy that robotic engineering has come as far as it has, but we are still a far cry from where my imagination was at the time. I would make these great robotic creations that defied every form of logic, science and contemporary engineer knew to make. I would create a world full of catapults, castles, and dragons to slay. I would pridefully show my creations to my family who would ooo and aww over my naivety/creativity combo. My pap once told me to invent creations that would change the world.

As I grew up I put my legos aside and went into more serious creative ways to sculpt the future of mankind. I taught myself web design, computer programming, computer construction, and various other geeky tasks that are steaming forward technologically.

I also planted a Church; The Church is God's invention to change the world and bring His Kingdom to Earth.

Most people think the Church is an old idea; not me! I believe that Church was supposed to be something relevantly fresh that invaded toward changing everything wrong in the world. If Church did was it was supposed to, we would have no need for governmental programs: the poor would be rich, the naked would be clothes, the oppressed would be freed, the hurting would be consoled, the sick would be healed, even the dead would be raised;

Jesus said that His Church would invade even the gates of Hell. Perhaps today's church needs a little innovation and some creativity to change its thought process. Maybe if we gave those with the naivety/creativity combo a chance to lead, they'd change the world too.
