They are constructs of our imagination that we think define us. We create false identities that limit us to our own design. We create a box that traps us, and then we blame God when it doesn't work.

And youre right. We are first of all human beings created by God in God's image. As I see it, labels are too often used to divide and control. They're also used as covers.

That's part of the good news. You've touched on one of my pet peeves. And youre right. We are first of all human beings created by God in God's image.
