The Act of Creating
The Act of Creating
When we attempt to “prove” there is a God, we come at it from the wrong direction. Usually, when trying to “defend” the existence of the Almighty, we dwell on what He has created. “Look,” we say, “see the universe and the infinite number of grains of sand on the beach? The Creator has wrought these things into being. There, then, is your proof.” But when I hear that, I want to say, “So? See how man also “creates”? He, too, makes things. You can know man by what he produces. What sets God apart from merely the act of creating Something is that He created Nothing first. Are you digesting that? Can you wrap your mind around the phrase, ‘created Nothing’? What man can create Nothing? What man can even conceive the essence of Nothingness? I doubt he’d even know where to begin.

Theresa attended the University of Washington, received a B.A. in English, and spent the next twenty-plus years teaching middle school language arts and social studies before retiring "early." Now she is happy to indulge her wild imagination and passionate love of history and share these foibles with others, including her husband, her humongous family, a rescue pup named Molly, and a myriad of friends. Theresa is the author of over twenty cozy mysteries, warm romances, and YA fiction.
Theresa has made her home in Washington, Missouri, Georgia, and North Carolina but currently resides in South Carolina. An avid traveler, she likes poking her nose into strange and mysterious places.
