Whether of Apes or of Clay We Are Family!

Looking at the modern understanding of human evolution it is amazing to me that no one mentions the observation that for all humanity's wars and murders, and hatred of one the other, that even going to an alternative explanation to the Religious creation narrative, we are still family...
In the Scriptural record of Religious History found in the Bible, we learn God created us in His image in the creation of populating of our shared world with its variety of life. We are originally one family created by our God is the Religious family tree.
In the evolutionary record from the reported, I have encountered our evolutionary family traces back to an original mother that has been called "Eve" by those doing the research that made the discovery. We are one evolutionary lineage sharing a common ancestor.
So practice hard your hate indoctrinations, repeat your hateful words, and make your hateful speeches all you want that are inclined to deliberately hate as your ancestors hated those such and such so and so no good for nothing people. You are related to those no good for nothing people even if you hate them as long as humanly possible.
There is nothing as strange to me as for how much estranged distant cousins can hate each other with an undying hatred even when they come from the same area of the world, not just share the same color skin or continent origin, even those worshipping the same God, the God of Abraham.
The Sister Sledge song We are Family is one of my all time favorites along with a song called Family Affair by Sly and the Family Stone. Google them they are worth listening to if you like me love the idea that we are a family, the human family, or God's family, a descendant of Apes or of the Potters clay.

Christmas Day, What Does It Mean?

Christmas Day, what does it mean if there is a living God born on Christmas Day like one of His creations? What does it mean if there is a creator? What does it mean if we have a God as our Heavenly Father? Let us try and get some insight into these ideas.
If there is a living God that was born among His creation like one of His Human creatures and this is celebrated during Christmas then we are not what we learned in public school. We are not an accident result of a series of fortunate events. We are not an accident at all. We are a deliberate work of art and technology of a living invisible God that decided to share a work created in His image with His created humanity, us. We are heirs of God Creator's work and have received an invitation to reconcile with Him in Jesus Christ.
If there is a Creator then the universe is an illusion as a result of our human finite views of it that appears to be real and exists to some as all there is. If there is a Creator then the universe is a scroll "painted" with stars by the power of God that are like stars to us in their power and potentials but only creations like an original work of art just the same. If there is a Creator we are like an animated fantasy of life and death in a world of matter that really is just theater and special effects in the great godhead.
If we have a God that is our Heavenly Father, the cause of our lives coming into being, the parent of our race, then there is far more to us than is usually experienced. We are in possession of a created body with all creatable potentials our Heavenly Father decides to grant us. If God is our Heavenly Father then we are children of God and possess all inferred potentials thereof. If God is our parent then we can grow up to be like Him a Creator of Universes, and planets, and life in our chosen images. 
Think about it. Either we are celebrating a day for superstitious and mistaken reasons or we are celebrating the birth of our Creator among us. Either we are in a creation by a living God or we exist in an unknown ocean of space we may never get to explore all there is of. Either we have a Heavenly Father and potentials beyond those of mortal humanity or we are just the product of stardust and accidental accumulations that were just right.
As for me, I will keep Christ in Christmas until someone proves there is no such treatment due. Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year to all of you. 

It is Almost Christmas!

It is the season we celebrate giving gifts to our children and loved ones as we are able to. Let us remember this Holiday Season and every Christmas that first Christmas when Christ was born.
Though He received gifts from the Magi the greatest gift that Christmas night was Jesus Himself.
He came to us all in need of a healer of our wounded spirits suffering in a world pulling us down from our rightful place as children of our Creator and our home in this Wonderful God's Creation. Jesus came so we may have life more abundantly.
He came too for all those struggling more with guilt used to keep them suffering in shame so they would never see how wonderful they really are in the potentials everyone created possesses in their hearts for love, kindness, joy, happiness in a life shared with all Creation and it's loving God.
Those in His lifetime He shared His gifts with felt they were in God's own presence the Gospels record. He healed many illnesses, fed the hungry, forgave sinners and even is said to have raised people from death back to their loved ones. For this, He was abused and crucified.
Being a child of God fully vested with the Godhead though, the grave could not keep Him and He rose from the dead and was seen by many of His followers the Gospels further present. These followers bore record of what they saw, what they remembered of His life and teachings and these records compose the books of the New Testament in any Christian or Catholic Bible.
If you need spiritual comforting Jesus is still with us. He is the Invisible God we all live inside of. He is anywhere you are and everywhere you can go. He can do miracles or just provide a presence to comfort you as you go through this life with its crime, illness, wars, and deaths. He is not going to come to the rescue like Superman in the movies, even Saint Steven was stoned for preaching.
Yet Jesus did spare the adulteress a stoning by a mob. So He may spare you a stoning, protect you in a fiery furnace or lion's den or like Steven you too may be martyred. Yet Jesus gives us the promise of eternal life that can believe beyond the apparent grave too often acquainted with in these mortal lives of ours.
So this Christmas I have shared a little of the meaning of Christmas and the greatest gift of all for all of us struggling to find our way home back to Creation and our God Creator, the Heavenly Father.
