Oops — zipped too soon — “You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.” The Corinthians scripture. Sorry — my references are incomplete here. “We are not our own”. My takeaway — we didn’t just appear one day out of biological ooze. God conceived us and made us — and yet so much of what we’re made to believe today is that we just appeared out of nothing or from the Apes. Thank you for this Impt reminder🙏.
This was great. This kind of remembering is rarely considered. One who did was Anne Porter, in her poem "Music":
"Why is it that music
At its most beautiful
Opens a wound in us
An ache a desolation
Deep as a homesickness
For some far-off
And half-forgotten country"

This is exactly right. We are not an accident of evolution. We are intentional creations of a loving God.
Thank you for reading!

Yes. Hold on.
I love your content, brother, but I would fire the AI narrator for saying, "winky smile" in the middle of the collect. 😂
What? Did that happen?
Yes. Yes, it did.
That is hilarious! I just did it. Yeah…it thinks this is a smiley winky face: ;]
too funny. Thanks for pointing that out!
