My aunt and uncle visited recently, and our dinner conversation started around one of those "Tabletop Questions" card games. The one where you draw a card and everyone at the table has to answer.

The question: If you could ask God one question, what would it be?

We had provocative answers. One person wanted to know why we can't cure cancer. Another wanted to ask God how He created all things. And the conversation went on.

My question: WHY did you create the heavens, the earth, and us humans?

Then my uncle responded with his own answer to my question for God: God created us because God is love. And love, by its nature, expands. Love must expand its boundaries.

I have to admit, I like that answer. God made us because He loves us. God is love. It helps me to remember that.
