I usually joke about a couple of things I will "discuss"with God about the way he made us.
I wish He would have given us a brain on-off switch. Would it not be wonderful to stop our thoughts at will instead of having to "take them captive" all the time?
I would also have liked to have a zipper in my tummy where I would open and close it at birth time. Seems a lot easier than having to push a baby out of a disproportionally small exit. I understand that the curse has some to do with this, but anyway, if I am going to dream, might as well dream big. Same for our throats, unzip, pop up a pill, zip, be done. I can't swallow pills in case you wonder.
I love free will, but sometimes I wish I were a robot like human being (is that an oxymoron?) I wouldn't know the difference, would I? So many decision would be done for me, and I would like them all.
On the free will-robotic topic, it would mean when I tell my children to do something, there wouldn't be any talk back whatsoever, ever, ever. People as well, they would all be on the same page..."Imagine all the people..." Ok, I'm scaring myself now.
I would like a screwdriver to unscrew my achy joints, lubricate, close, done until my next tune-up.
I would like gray hair to be a desirable thing, something that young girls can't wait to have.
I would like to be a robot like human with feelings. Good feelings, though. Forget sadness, anger, fear. Always content, happy, joyful, thankful (all the time), wise, wise, wiser.
I would like not to have to spend so much time on making a living, but have more time to enjoy God and His people.
I think I am describing a bit of Heaven on Earth in a very weird way.
Anyway, is there anything you would like to ask God about when you get to meet Him? In a weird way, not the usual "suffering in the world" stuff.

First...I love my gray hair.
Second, I'd ask him, "Why He invented body odor and bad breath?" and "Why can't vegetables be tastier than brownies?" I guess it's this broken world we live in.
Lol Steph, I like those questions. I didn't notice you had gray hair :)
My thoughts are not the weird ones but just the strange pressing questions of WHY on so many levels. Like if the Fall of Mankind was planned or a mistake? Couldn't He have made it so sin would not enter into the picture? Or do we need sin in order to truly have free will? In that case, did God design evil? Is evil necessary to know the true nature of God?
And that's just my Genesis 1-3 questions.... I can go on... and on ... and on! They are all kinda strange questions but not the "weird" ones you ask.
Perhaps I'm just not as creative as you guys!
Thanks for your comment Victoria. I think you are very creative-your pictures are incredible- and the questions you have, we all, at one point or another, have had them, or still wrestle with. I have made peace with many of them, once one a while, others pop up.
I agree with you. I wish He didn't make human beings (myself included) so complicated. And then I marvel at the beauty of man's struggle to follow God at all costs, and I realize none of that would mean anything had He made us into robots.
