That you hear me - when I call." I often think about how insignificant my life is, and what I do is. That I can solve as many computer problems that are thrown my way, and more will be there tomorrow. But for as much as God cares for me in my insignificance, I can at least care for others who are equally insignificant.Martinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10217302.post-77963251739335937732009-07-03T11:12:01.983-05:002009-07-03T11:12:01.983-05:00Addendum

Because I am impatient, a poor writer and keyboarder, I find it at times difficult to convey my thoughts in a clear and concise way. (I would love to be able to write and comminucate in the way that you and Thomas Sowell are able to. Sigh!)<br />My response to the "What am I?" question is born from a lesson that my mother always preached on, and a book that I have read recently.<br />My -protective- mother, always and I mean always, taught my sister and I to not let anyone define who or what you are. This was due in part to racism, and the soft bigotry of low expectations that was prevalent when we were younger. Another factor was that as children of God, we were who He says we were. Why allow other created beings define you instead of the Creator?<br />In a book that is an excellent read and that I highly recommend, <i>Conformed to His Image</i> by Kenneth Boa he touches upon that we should see ourselves as God sees us. When we are able to see ourselves in this context, we are better able to appreciate how and why we are special to Him.<br />Though we may not be all that great when it comes to the environment or a sundry of other issues, we are still<br /><br />Best,<br />JoeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10217302.post-15892430608153457242009-07-02T19:40:25.075-05:002009-07-02T19:40:25.075-05:00Andy:

Most of the examples you used seemed a bit on the negative side to this reader. <br />When I look whether day or night I am amazed of the beauty and enormity of it all.<br />What am I? According to Him, I am many things, but most importantly I am conformed to His image.<br /><br />Respectfully,<br />Joe<br /><br />(BTW, thanks for the expanding my vocabulary: retinue. I can't recall coming across that one before today.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
