Variety

Thank you for all your comments on Blank Mind. I was so excited to see all the varied backgrounds and influences you told about. It puts me in mind of the new testament church, a mix of Jewish, Greek, and Romans coming together for a single belief and a single cause. Just think about that mix. Jews with Gentiles, pagans with Romans and Jews. I do believe that God has united His people as a varied group for a reason, to learn of Christ together and to learn how to look at Christ through the eyes of people with different backgrounds. Didn't Paul spend a lot of writing doing just that very thing?
We can't erase our backgrounds. God put us just where He wanted us and He brought us together to worship and serve Him as one. He taught us to love each other and to share that love with those in the world. So I say what a blessing each and every one of His children are and I praise God for our variety.
