“People actually ask me why I bring in projects on budget and on time. It seems I am not living up to the fashionable genius role.

“Except during my childhood, when I was probably influenced by Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel depiction of God with a flowing white beard, I have never tried to project the Creator in any kind of human likeness. The vociferous debates about whether God is male or female seem ridiculous to me. I think of God as an omnipotent and omniscient presence, a spirit that permeates the universe, the essence of truth, nature, being, and life. To me, these are profound and indescribable concepts that seem to be trivialized when expressed in words.” ThinkingHumansKindGodSeemsSpiritUniverseWhiteChildhoodProjectsConceptsFemaleEssenceProfoundMalesCreatorDebateRidiculousBeardOmnipotentIndescribableChapelOmniscientDepictionSistine Chapel Book:Living Faith Source: Living Faith
“God build’s God’s kingdom. But God ordered this world in such a way that His own work within that world takes place through the human beings that reflect His image. That is central to the notion of being made in God’s image. He has enlisted us to act as His stewards in the project of creation. So the objection about us trying to build God’s kingdom by our own efforts, though it seems humble and pious, can actually be a way of hiding from responsibility, of keeping one’s head well down when the boss is looking for volunteers.” WorldWayTryingHumansWellsMadeSeemsHuman BeingsEffortResponsibilityCreationThis WorldProjectsNotionHumbleKingdomsBossHidingVolunteerObjectionsPiousStewardsEnlisted Author:N.
