Dave Marmion, a friend and a soon-to-be board member of
PlayFull, shared this quote on PlayFull's facebook page yesterday. I thought it
was so good I wanted to post it here today so more folks could
see it. Here goes:
"Since God is a self-sufficient being, creating the
universe was not necessary. Similarly...one can exist without play. But human
beings were not made to merely exist. They were made in God's image to worship
God and to emulate his actions, and in 'play' we do emulate God's actions. We
create games and play a game that has a universe of its own, its own rules, its
own gravitational pull...If we ask the cosmic question - Why is there something
instead of nothing? One answer is - Because God is playful. God enjoys creating
and playing."
-Ben Witherington III, The
Rest of Life
This is why we do what we do.

I add, “Amen to that.” Thanks, Dave, for
sharing this with us.
