About the Creator
Regarding the Image of God
This post will be a bit of a strange one. I wrote most of the following piece about six months ago, as certain governmental policies and actions were starting to roll out - and while reflecting upon certain ongoing atrocities. While these reflections revolve mostly around those claiming and practicing the Christian faith (and our failures to do so rightly) I do believe that they might be provide valuable insight - or at least something to think about - for folks of all perspectives who are willing to read them. So without further ado, here are a few of my recent reflections regarding the biblical concept of the 'image of God.'

No one likes this visitor. Ugh, go away! Loved your poem!
Insomnia is a terrible night visitor. And this was clever!
For me it is doing the old relaxation trick where you tense up each muscle then let it relax moving from head to toe, usually by the time I reach my legs I am sleeping soundly. Good luck and good job.
A few sips of beer and i am out, never half or a bottle, just sips. Quiet and complete darkness is a big winner too. that is a regular visitor to us all.
The dreams must be terrible. Not a nice thing insomnia, counting sheep does not help me. I can relate.
ugh....I host the same visitor
Very vivid!
