pray and live

Sunday November 3^rd, Ephesians 1: 11 God always does what God plans, and that's why God appointed Christ to choose us. God created all of humanity, all that exists, and pronounced it not just good, but very good.  God’s intention is that all of humanity and all of creation is to live in harmony with God and with each other.  We humans have yet to learn that lesson and after all of human history up to this point, we are still busy trying to figure out who is the biggest “big deal.”  Our politics are filled with not with hope and new ideas, but despair and fear.  We spend far more on war than we do on health care and social programs, and now many are trying quite successfully to dismantle the small inroads we have made on those fronts.  I sometimes wonder what the world would be like if our largest export was food and medicine rather than weapons?  But there is still hope, we are created in the image of God, not so much in looks as in heart.  There is still hope that one day we will learn to live as brothers and sisters.  Pray and live and the children of God, there is still hope
