This week's Community episode was about Jeff, played by Joel McHale, taking beginner pottery, which was his blowoff class for the semester. He thought he would be able to do it no problem, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make the projects. Another cool guy in his class with one touch can make these beautiful vases. Jeff even stays after school one day to hone his skill, but to no avail.
The point is that he couldn't manufacture his art no matter how hard he tried. In art, as well as life, either you have the talent or you don't. You can learn one, but people who have an artistic talent, for example, naturally are just creative. Paul writes in 11 corinthians 4:7, that we are jars of clay, that hold the treasure (the gospel). It is a natural part of them. We can't preach what we don't know. Either you know him, or you don't.
A wife. a mother. A pastor's wife. Above all, a Christ follower.
