Are we really walking miricles?

 Science seems to be able to explain a great many things about us. How the various systems in our body work. How they function together to give us mobility, the ability to sustain ourselves, and even the difference between instincts in our genetic code and our innate ability to learn new things. All Simply AMAZING!! Right?

What about our conciseness? Our soul. The spark of life? The part that makes us both merely mortal AND a living thing? The moment we gasp for our first breath. No. Wait... The first heartbeat. Evolution cannot explain how a single cell "decided" to get together with a bunch of others just like it and become heart-tissue for the soul purpose of pumping blood though our body to carry oxygen from our air filled lungs to our thought filled brains...

God doesn't bother to bog us down with the details. All the bible has to say about it is "Dust of the ground" and "bad breath" or some nonsense... Then, to make matters an even better convolution, He "made" Woman from the rib of the man. The bone CLOSEST to his HEART. I just love imagery. Don't you?

I think if God had wanted us to know how it all worked, he would have written our DNA code out in Aramaic or something and given us instructions on how to mix it up in clay pots, put it in the oven for 9 months and POOF!! you created life. To paraphrase that old joke about the devil betting God he can do everything God can: Get your own dust....

What about our fear of death? Why were we afraid of our parents catching us screwing up when we were kids? Why do good people still do stupid shit on a daily basis? Also, if our lives are so short, and when the lights go out, we're done, why even worry about it? Knowing how eff'd up most of the world is and our propensity to war over meaningless crap, why even have kids? Anyone want some kool-aid (never you mind that funny aftertaste)?

Because God loved us enough to not only CREATE US in the first place, but he gave us a way out, and a promise for the future. All of this can be explained very simply without complicated details. Dust, Breath, Life, Sin, Death, Atonement, Resurrection, Eternal Life.

Don't worry about being perfect. You're not. Neither am I.
Don't worry about your life, or where you're going. It's already handled.
Don't live selfishly. Give. Share. take, but take less.

Jesus said to do two things.  Love God more than anything else, and Love other people as much as you love yourself.

Think we can just do that?

This may seem strange, but....

I believe our world and the "Heavens" are not separated by vast distances, or great lengths of time, but co-exist separated by a very slight distance and something like a "membrane" that lets certain things like Angels pass through and The Holy Spirit occupy both our world and Heaven. Some would try to explain it as a "parallel universe", or perhaps a "phase shift". The bottom line is quantum physics are God's parlor tricks. If Jesus wanted to unzip a doorway between Heaven and Earth and take me through  he can. Even if He explains it, and shows me how it works, I cannot do it though because on my own, I am just a man...

There are lots of places in the bible that describe events, appearances, trips and Transfiguration back and forth between Heaven and Earth.  But, did you know WE exist as much in heaven as we do here? Did you hear me? God is as much aware of us in heaven as we are aware of each other here. We are SO CLOSE, yet so far, yet God is near, and always faithful. We are just blind, stumbling idiots. My Hope as a Christian is to share the Love of God given to me by Jesus Christ, and maintained by the Holy Spirit in plain ol' everyday life. To show that the Kingdom of Heaven IS in fact here.

Where Men and Angels walk together.
