Father Isaac...
I "believe" God created certain souls / people when he created different emotions, qualities or feelings. So, when he created passion, he created David, and when he created wisdom, he created Solomon, and when he created law and order, he created Moses, and when he created faith, he created Abraham, and when he created love, he created John, and when he created hope, he created Isaiah, etc.
Each of us, I think, are descendants of someone who is the first in the line to possess a particular gift, emotion, or quality that is peculiar to them, and to us.
I know my heritage. I am a son of Isaac. When God created laughter, he created Isaac, and so he created me. I wonder who is your father or mother? What is your heritage?

A happy skeptic...I like that description and I think it often fits me. Someone suggested that if this is the case, then perhaps SARAH is my patron saint...hmmmmmm.
your laugh probably sounds much different to God than Isaac's?
