Conversation Starters - Film + Faith - Animated AdventuresSample

Allowing the flow of imagination
The Academy Award-winning animated film, Flow, taps into a world of imagination and gives the world a glimpse into what it can offer humanity, even through the eyes of a cat.
Even without entertainment at our fingertips or when life moves into a state of boredom, bringing up images and thoughts allows us to survive this existence. From the limitless well of the creative process come songs, stories, and dreams, which have been part of the human experience since the beginning of time.
‘And the Lord said, “Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them.’ - Genesis 11:6 (ESV)
Some say that certain people, like director Gints Zilbalodis, are more imaginative than others. Still, this reality does not diminish that all mankind was given this gift. At times, it is used for less-than-redeeming results, and some minds draw from darker wells than others, but this does not minimize the power it offers.
The human imagination exposes life's psychological and spiritual aspects that can only be attributed to God.
The question is, what are you doing with your imagination? Is it to honour the one who has given you this gift?
