Descartes’ “I think therefore I am” in itself doesn’t prove existence. It is the awareness of “thinking” that proves existence. God created the universe to be aware of Himself. Creation is an act of self love, God is Love. God knows Himself. The tree in the quad exists because God is always aware of it. The question now becomes, what in us is aware of thinking. Who am I? I am more than that mighty oak in the quad.  The Bible tells us that God created us in his own image, Genesis 1:26 “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness… “ Christians in every land unite in proclaiming that our God eternally exists as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. So, I am three? There are two answers, both Yes! First, I am a trinity of heart, soul and mind. Second, in Marriage Patricia and I were joined together as one in and by God. Mark 10:9 “What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.“  We are a trinity and shall be forever – Pat, me and our Love and shall be forever One. What proves I exist is the One within me doing the observing, the unity of heart, soul and mind. Pat and I are absolutely real as is her presence within me and we will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
