Weaving

<p>Weaving silk using a mitochondrial sequence from Gabriel Harp on Vimeo.</p>

This video is from an article I found called "Weaving Haplotypes" It's pretty cool if you're willing to wade through it. The short version is someone is weaving silk using DNA sequencing to determine the colour pattern.

That got me thinking about this:

As we rest collectively in what it means to be children of God, we understand more fully what we are to do collectively as children of God; as we rest individually in what it means to be a child of God, we understand more fully what we are to do individually as children of God.

Conversely and with equal importance: as we do collectively what it is we have come to understand children of God do, we understand more fully what it means to be collectively children of God; as we do individually what it is we have come to understand a child of God does, we understand more fully what it means to be individually a child of God.

Resting in identity and doing calling are intimately entwined in both communities and individuals. These four strands, when woven by the Spirit, create a tapestry of stories stronger than steel and more beautiful than the best mere human hands could offer.
