alive

I feel very alive these days because I know why I am here. Not what career I'll have or who I'll marry or any other details. Rather why I exist. It is beautiful to breathe in and out and realize that that simple breathing is an act of worship to the Creator who put that breath there. To know that innate in each human being is the Imago Dei, the image of God. Each human soul is beautiful. Beauty goes down to such great depths and God has blessed each one of us with it. I am beautiful. You are beautiful. Don't mistake that for something shallow because when I saw beautiful I am speaking of a holistic quality that is physical yes, but also goes down to the core of who someone is.

The Imago Dei....

If I taught one college course it would be all about the Imago Dei because the beauty and profundity of it just put me in awe. I was on the verge of tears in Beauty and the Christian Life tonight when Prof. Rybarczyk talked about the Imago Dei and beauty. Oh man....

We are here....

I am here to be, to exist first. Function and achievement are secondary. Primarily we are here to just BE.


I can't even put this beautiful profundity into words. All I know is that if some Christian guy talked to me about the Imago Dei I would ask for his hand in marriage.

Shalom.
