Paul and Willy Wonka

AT&T is currently running one of their best ever commercials. City streets
are filled with children's art. The background music is Pure Imagination
sung by Gene Wilder from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. The words
designed to spur creative thought are:

"Come with me and you'll be
In a world of pure imagination.
Take a look and you'll see
Into your imagination.

We'll begin with a spin
Traveling in the world of my creation.
What we'll see will defy
Explanation.

If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it.
Anything you want to, do it.
Want to change the world, there's nothing to it

There is no life I know
To compare with pure imagination.
Living there, you'll be free
If you truly wish to be.

Ephesians 3:20 says, "Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly
above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, . .
." I have a feeling Paul and Willy Wonka would so agree with each other.
Unfortunately the older we get the more practical we usually become ending
with limited concepts of what God can do with us. Ephesians 2 speaks of
God's plans for our working with Him. I wonder if anyone other than Jesus
ever fulfilled God's Plan "A". Most of us can only see Plans "B" and "C" in
our rearview mirror. I can only imagine that I am working on Plan "Triple
Z." Fortunately for us God never runs out of letters. God wants little
children to come to Him because they can still dream great dreams. They can
still imagine.
