And it was good…

All good theology starts with Genesis 1. That is, I think all good theology starts with the concept that God existed before the beginning and He created and what He created was good. Why?

Because God is good and the creation has His fingerprints all over it. It is creative, diverse, wonderful, complex, beautiful, full of folly, complicated, simple and….good. Because if it isn’t good, it isn’t worth redeeming which makes the rest of scripture pointless.

These particular paintings were done by Jenny who has Williams Syndrome. WS is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder but Jenny has a very sunny, fun disposition in spite of this. You can probably see this in her artwork. It made her the perfect choice to be the artist for this topic.

Another aspect about Jenny came out in the artwork. She loves to help people. That’s part of God’s good creation – people, the ability to help and receive help from others. Jenny recently graduated from Washburn Rural and started her own business JennyLu Designs.
