I went to Mass yesterday and managed to hear nothing 😬. Yep, that happens sometimes people, absent mindedness is real. Lol. I’m planning to listen to an online Mass this evening to try to grasp something. But before Mass I was with my 13-14 year old friends for Catechism class. The theme of the class was about God being the source of all creation so I had us read the first three chapters of Genesis (in the Bible) and discuss what stood out to us. Some key points I discussed with my brilliant kids are:
1/ When God created animals and humans He commanded both species to reproduce plentifully but He only told humans to have dominion over the earth and be in charge. Basically He made us stewards and told us to take care of this place called earth. I guess that puts us above being ‘just animals’ as some people would say…
2/ There are two accounts of creation in Genesis - the 7 day account and then another one in chapter 2. We discussed that if there are two accounts then perhaps the creation account is merely an insight into the greatness of God’s creations work so probably not the full picture of what and how exactly it happened, meaning we cannot discount all the scientific possibilities and explanations like evolution etc. Science and Faith are not at loggerheads. We just don’t know the full picture…
3/ Finally, when it came to the story of how Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating that forbidden fruit in chapter 3, we discussed so many interesting things including how crafty the devil is when trying to tempt us + one student asked well why would God put a tree in the middle of the garden of Eden knowing we would possibly be tempted. The simple answer we came up with is : free will. We are not robots. We can choose to love and obey God or not. So that was pretty insightful.
In chalk news, we are now at 48k+, a miracle of sorts and I’m really stuck about how to thank you all. I spent all weekend thinking up ideas and I realised that my main problem is that I don’t know yet what we are celebrating. Is it 30k, 40k, 50k? It’s easier for me to plan and execute when I know what is driving the plan but I decided not be bogged down by these thoughts and just plan my thank you videos regardless of what milestones we achieve. So I’m going to take a few days to prepare my thank you videos. Hope to have these ready in a week or two 💕💕, it takes longer because I’m hoping to make stuff rather than crush fresh /dyed blocks. In the meantime, let’s enjoy these mini mass crushes where I’ll try my best to include as many UPJ signature crushes as possible. Today we have HOMEMADE SLIMS + UPJoe blocks and a couple of other random textures. I LOVED the homemade slims so much so I’m thinking to make more of these as part of my upcoming grand thank you. 💕💕💕
Ps - wishing @shomi shah a very blessed birthday…💕
Enjoy
Bisous
