Occasionally I will see something that causes me to ponder or meditate on the AWESOMENESS of the Lord. Last night I watched the story of Donny Hathaway on UNSUNG, who happens to sing my favorite Christmas song of ALL time "This Christmas". As with many celebrities his story was a tragic one, ending in suicide after years of struggling with paranoid schizophrenia. As the story unfolded it revealed his amazing talent, his flawless arrangements and velvety smooth voice that was gentle yet strong. Whenever he sang it was with such passion, that the listener could not only hear the music but also feel his emotions in the music. Talent such as his absolutely amazes me, like watching MJ dance, or watching footage of Jordan soaring thru the air to the basketball rim. I am not only amazed by physical talent, but every time I sit on an airplane and think of the genus it took to invent it or watching scientist solve complex problems on NATGO. There are math problems they work on for years!! Not only does the talent in famous people amaze me but those in the average joe, cooking skills, people skills, fashion skills etc. etc. etc.... WHO is the author of all such talent? NONE other than the Amazing Creator of everything that exist!!!! Who is creative in his creativity, whose creation is in total intricate completeness...in whose image we are made. Think about it...not only does he place talent within us but also it is a reflection of what is contained in Him. If you think Donny can sing wait until you hear him, or if you think MJ can dance what until you see him.... If you think those mathematicians can solve some tough problems wait until he explains his computations. GOD IS JUST AMAZING!!!!

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.... Gen 1:26
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Gen 1:27
