God created and creates.
God created you and me.
God designed each one of us.
God knows exactly how each one of us works.  He knows what fuel we need, what fulfills us, and how we can operate at our optimum efficiency.  Just as the maker of a computer knows exactly what is good or [...]]]></description>
