The Mother of Invention

Perhaps necessity should be the father of invention and joy should be the mother. The seed today of looking through and digesting 1 John was the necessity of getting ready for Sunday School, but what made it grow, and develop, and turn into something that had substance and usefulness instead of simply a product, was the nurturing hand of the joy that I found in the task at hand. So enjoyment surly must be the mother of invention and necessity the father.
