In the world of the Bible, inanimate objects could be deemed clean or unclean, holy or unholy. Ordinary, otherwise neutral, items were often drafted into the service of an individual or a group as medium for worship. Wood, fabric, metal, bread, oil... otherwise ordinary items secured and sanctified as medium for worship.
I intend to secure the world around me and to sanctify it into my service as medium for worship. I will take the secular, the mundane, the ordinary, the forgotten, the taken-for-granted, the intended-for-evil and repurpose those things, sanctify them, and masterfully, skillfully use them to express the message of my soul, the worship of my heart. I will hammer, and stretch; sow and weave with artisanal confidence and acuity until my worship has interrupted space and time, until it has been savored.
