Do You See What I See?

I took these pictures a month or so ago. There isn't nearly this much green to be found in our yard these days. Do you see it yet?


To be honest, I probably wouldn't have seen him either. I saw him because he was walking across the sidewalk leading to my front door! Just like that...walking by. I was worried he'd get stomped on by the kids who were excited to see him, so I picked him up and put him on this nearby lily.

See that? He's saying "Thank you...thank you very much."

Just look how incredible he is! Macro photography...getting a really close look at something you might not normally be able to see very well...is some of my favorite photography to shoot. I look at it and think, "Wow, Lord! You are a true artist! Does your creativity ever end? Good job on this one...such amazing detail and beauty!"

Actually...I'm really just thankful for the randomness of evolution. There was a time when all genetic material was floating around in the sludge of the unformed earth....and eventually everything just worked out the way it is now. Some of the sludge evolved into this fine specimen, some into a bird, some into a tree, some into the mold, and some into my babies. Wow...now that's quite the story!

"What? That doesn't make any sense whatsoever. I'm a bug, and even I know that!"

"This is crazy talk. I'm outa here."

"Since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities - his eternal power and divine nature- have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse."

Romans 1:19-20
