Twister Life
Here it comes
The Bible says that we are created in God’s image a lot people read it and say yes we created to look like God, but I think it’s more than that. We are created to have His attributes; to do the things that he does on an infinitely smaller scale. I felt this way when I was composing my novel - creating a world with people, interactions, and occurrences.
I made a huge mistake when writing. A lot of it was composed orally and this was in the days before smartphones which have voice recorders. I had a small MP3 player that I spoke a lot of my ideas out and some of those ideas are in the novel now. However, the voice recorder came about because of my mistake.
I remember sitting out in my backyard thinking my novel all the way out to the end, but I didn’t record it or write it down right afterward. Later, when I went to record those things, I had forgotten it all!
We human beings imitate God all the time. We write novels/plays/movies, compose music/lyrics/melody. We create countless pieces of art in various forms.
But because of the Fall, sometimes things happen to our creations; they become twisted and perverted. Thinking about the the tapestry that God creates with humanity over long periods of time, we do that too. We copulate, get married, have children and those children do the same. We create organizations and governments and all kinds of other things – again, because of this world being fallen sometimes those things go bad or become twisted and, right now, communications do this very thing.
I’ve been trying to put into words what I see/read over social media, mainly on X and Facebook. I watch as people pass along false information or something which I think is worse: true information without its context. Why is that worse? Because truth sometimes creates a basis for falsehood and then gets lost in the mountain of lies built on top of it. sometimes you can see it in innocuous conversations that don’t really seem important.
I’m going to give at least one example in a subsequent post.
