Your Creation

So you have problems with a god who might have created this world that is such a mess of volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes and floods.  So you lose faith that such a creator god even exists.  Well, say that you were God, the creator.  Would your make everyone look just like you, in skin color, language, and culture?  If you say no, there should be lots of diversity, then ask yourself how you respond to diversity, in your neighborhood, your work, your school, and stores and places you go and choose not to go?  The God I know of, and it is personal to me, challenges me to be open to more diversity and surprise.  You have tornadoes because warm air and cold air come together.  They like to meet in Kansas.  We have hurricanes because the world spins around, and some ocean water is warmer than other ocean water.  Air moves.  Platelets are not all the same and run into one another or get caught up in one another and then pull apart.  San Francisco is waiting for one or the other to happen.  Anyhow diversity is what creation seems to be all about.  So I try to get onboard the reality train.
