My Kind of Town

There is a song about Chicago that includes the lyrics "my kind of town." I love diversity and in particular, I love the diveristy of Chicago. Obama pop art, Chinese New Year's celebrations and Ash Wednesday worshippers were all featured in this morning's paper. Sure, there are lots of other American cities that showcase and celebrate their diversity, but none that hold the same affection in my heart. Why does diversity make me so happy? I'm not entirely sure why. Maybe because it ultimately points to the manifest wisdom and beauty of our Creator God who also delights in our varied forms of expression. May we honor God in our lives and delight in the way others do so as well.
