When in the second grade, my concept of family included me, Mom, Dad, two brothers, and one sister. At the end of the year, another sister entered the pictured. As I matured, so did my concept of family.

It reached out to grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. After getting married, family blossomed.

My concept of family was very immature in my younger years. This is interesting.

I’ve concluded that my concept of this world and human existence is very immature. It keeps growing, therefore it isn’t complete.

I think what God created is complete, therefore I don’t believe God created what we know about this world and human existence. Because our knowledge is still incomplete.

This conclusion is a relief in that I don’t have to wonder why would God create all the evil in this world? God didn’t create evil.

I don’t have to fret about taking this human body with me after death. God isn’t testing us and our bodies.

I will outgrow this worldly concept. It will continue to mature. It will be like God, Love, Truth, and Life.
