we are doing God’s work. So God dresses in Eskimo clothing or other disguises, and responds to us whether or not we are aware enough to hear, see, or feel God’s loving guidance. Everything is a tool of God, from DNA to the weather.

The order of the words varies, but beer and ice are always two of the top four staples for sale. If we were all taking care of ourselves, wouldn’t the convenience stores compete for our dollars with signs that read “Fruit, Vegetables, Bread, Milk”?

God wants us to know that life is a series of beginnings not endings. Just as graduations are not terminations but commencements. Creation is an ongoing process and when we create a perfect world where love and compassion are shared by all suffering will cease.
