I was supposed to be writing a talk right now but I had "writer’s block."  No matter what I tried, I was not getting out of it.  So I logged onto my Bloglines account and ran into a post on the blog for bloggers, Copy Blogger. 

The post I read (along with a few about baseball….go Rockies) dealt with the blocks to creative thinking.  It listed 10 blocks and number eight fit my block this time.  It is, "Avoiding Ambiguity."

We rationally realize that most every situation is ambiguous to some degree. And although dividing complex situations into black and white boxes can lead to disaster, we still do it. It’s an innate characteristic of human psychology to desire certainty, but it’s the creative thinker who rejects the false comfort of clarity when it’s not really appropriate.

Ambiguity is your friend if you’re looking to innovate. The fact that most people are uncomfortable exploring uncertainty gives you an advantage, as long as you can embrace ambiguity rather than run from it.

It looks like I am trying to make the Bible to simple.  Imagine that? 

Preaching the complexity of the Gospel is difficult, making it too simple is even harder!
