Grand Finale

"Let Us make man in Our image." ~ Genesis 1:26

Of all we don't know about the creation, there is one thing we do know - He did it with a smile... Painting the stripes on the zebra...putting the gold in the sunset... Stretching the neck of the giraffe, putting the flutter in the mockingbird's wings, planting the giggle in the hyena... Like the whistling carpenter in his workshop, He loved every bit of it. He poured Himself into the work...

And then, as a [grand] finale..., He made man. With His typical creative flair, He began with a useless mound of dirt and ended up with an invaluable species... who had the unique honor to bear the stamp "In His Image."

Sounds like He is pretty fond of us :)
