"I believe creativity is a part of our god-given nature and should convey a high standard of excellence. Are we not like those who have been lured out of mediocrity into the promise of a better life? Are we not like those who have been touched by god and been transformed from the Mundane to the Sublime, the Warriors who wanted to run but stood firm in the face of adversity until the victory was ours, the jeweled Ornaments that embellish the house of god, those Tripod Works that are three part beings, body, soul and spirit, reflecting the glory of their creator, the Monuments that point to the heavens from where our strength comes and marks the path where god has taken us?"
