ROOT CIRCUMSTANCES

I Thessalonians 5:18
"Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."

In my hometown. Birth, food, water, all the "firsts" of my life on earth... began here!  My human world roots!  Walking in familiar sidewalks and streets, the sounds of old familiar clocks, train whistles, and birds caused wonderful awakening. The thankfulness of the "beginning" circumstances hit home.

The cornstalks in seas of acres and acres hold a wonderful remembrance.  Somehow,they do not look the same.  They are a different color than I remember, a different odor of the earth is rising.  Is it a change in me or a change in my old environment?

There is so much talk of our "global warming".  My thoughts suggest "global mutation".  Our pathological dissection can indicate changes in our genes, prior to or after birth.  Is it our DNA or is it environmental change, or perhaps both with other outside entities?  The question remains "idiopathic".

God has made us in His image.  What is that really?  I understand it to include our body, soul, and spirit.  There is a portion in human molecular make-up that is called laminin that caused a great deal of stirring. Here is one part of information from Wikipedia:

Many Christian apologists, most notably Louie Giglio, have written about the fact that laminin is shaped like a Christian cross, comparing the role of the cross in theology and laminin's role in the human body. For example, David D. Swanson states: "Our knowledge of truth is most clearly revealed on the cross of Christ. And what holds the human body together? Laminin. And what does it look like? A cross. Coincidence? Some would say yes, but I think it is yet another way God reveals his glory to us. I think God is the one who holds all things together-our bodies-our world-our lives."^[27] Fazale Rana, a biochemist and apologist, disagrees with Giglio and instead argues that "Instead of pointing to superficial features of bio molecules such as the “cross-shaped” architecture of laminin, there are many more substantive ways to use biochemistry to argue for the necessity of a Creator."^[28]

Regardless, my belief in Jesus Christ as my Savior is not relevant on laminin.  The Cross that He gave His life for us is the "key" to our eternal life with Him....not my cellular or molecular structure.  The healing process exists in His Purpose.

I continue to give Him thanks for all of my current and "root" circumstances!
