day no. 15,770: sold for profit, told for prophet

“Cultures are built by men with families to feed.” — Douglas Wilson, 2020 Vision/The Year Many Christians Begin to See Clearly

The Creator made men creative. When this ingenuity is employed for the purposes of providing for those over whom the Creator has made the man responsible, it results in full bellies, warm hearts, excellence in achievement, and artistry in endeavor.

Cultures are carried along by stories and songs. Songs and stories then are not merely sold for profit, but told by prophets. They capture what was, what is, and the promise of what could be. 

The more a man desires to tend to his household, the better the stories and songs will resonate with those under his roof and other households outside his own; and as a result, community and culture flourish.
