Coloring outside the lines

Okay, I admit. After all I am a CPA, Mayor, Husband and Father. I've come to grips with it. Or at least I think I have. You see, I am living what most would call a "within the lines" kind of life. Oh, did I mention too that I am a Christian? Although historically many of mankinds biggest movers and shakers would deem themselves Christians. However, in the current epoch, Christians aren't regarded (encouraged?) to push the envelope.

I wonder why that is? Isn't God (our Father) portrayed as the originator of creativity in the opening scenes of the Bible? Why have His followers forgotten that for the most part? Oops, rabbit trail. Anyhow back to me...

God is creative, we are to be creative. What little creativity I had when I was a child has been lost to the 7 to 5 workaday world. I sit in a square office and make sure that group of numbers A tie and conform to group of other numbers B. Not the most creative existence one could imagine.

So why am I bringing this up? Because I'm a father. I've got twin boys who are turning three in a few months. I think you can see their pictures below. I love them and I want them to at least be at a place when they grow up where they can choose to color inside or outside of the lines. And frankly, I would love for one or both of them to teach their dad how to do it as well.....

So, tell me, how do YOU color outside the lines? Leave me a reply below.
