It Was Sad

-
If you read my last blog you know I am in Washington DC.  One of the places we visited was the Museum of Natural History.

There were some sights in there that was just breathtaking.  It was a celebration of God's creative imagination and power.  Elephants, whales, sharks, buffalos and more.  But then we turned the corner.

It was an extensive and overwhelming presentation of man's origin.  But as you may guess, it wasn't about God, it was about evolution.  There is no way I can present a comprehensive argument about creationism vs. evolutionism.  Other people have already done that.  But I will say this. It takes the same amount of faith to believe either one.

1 Cor 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is folly with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their craftiness,”

My daughter turned and said to me, "How sad.  They don't get it."  

Today, at the Bible museum, I watched a short video presentation that only reminded me of what I already knew.  Most of the greatest scientists we know all started their studies from the same conclusion.  God created the universe to be discovered and understood.  

There is a power higher than your mind.  That power enlightens our mind and empowers us to become more than we can imagine.  The possibilities for your life are endless when your faith is coupled with a limitless Creator.  

PRAY:  Dear Jesus, help me to be above the foolishness of men and embrace your wisdom today.  AMEN

We Went For A Walk

Last Thursday, after realizing I forgot my wedding anniversary, I took my wife out for a walk that night.   It wasn’t just any walk, it is her favorite one.   Downtown, along the river, plus a couple of slices of our favorite pizza.   We talked about life after Covid, our daughter, marriage, and people we know and love.   It has been moments like these when I realize her resolve to be who God created her to be.   Moms need to know that.  I am saddened by our culture's ranting against mothers.  Today we hear how motherhood is a burden that you can take or leave.  Motherhood has never been a burden to Betty.  N-E-V-E-R  While it hasn’t been easy, the truth is, it has never nor will ever be easy for anyone.   Surveys in 2022 noted that moms feel overwhelmed. shorturl.at/auzH3   Covid, coupled with inflation and job instability is pouring gasoline on the fire.   What can you do? (Moms or Dads)  Prioritize and use the word “NO”.  Once you have determined that motherhoo

What A Day!

Today is Mothers Day.  On this day:  More people purchase fresh flowers and plants for Mother's Day than for any other holiday except Christmas/Hanukkah. In 2019, the National Retail Federation (NRF) estimates that US consumers will spend $25 billion celebrating Mother's Day. Shoppers will spend an average of $196.00 on Mom. According to the Insure.com 2018 Mother's Day Index, the various tasks moms perform at home would be worth $68,875 (up from $67,619 in 2017) a year in the professional world. https://www.cnn.com/2013/09/06/us/mothers-day-fast-facts/index.html Motherhood is God's idea, and He had a great idea!  He created Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and said in Genesis 1:28, "... And God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply... "   They had kids, their kids had kids, and the rest is history.  But where did Eve learn how to be a mom?  She didn't have one, remember?   I can only surmise, but I think these are good

Parenting Simplified (Well I tried to.)

Betty doesn’t like me blogging about her too much. So let me go with one more for now and let you see a bit of her heart.  She doesn’t like the world any better now than when she gave birth to Anneka. (Neither do I.)   If you think that’s a strange thing to say, you’re right. But let me explain myself.  The idea that a child will make your world a better place isn’t accurate. Stop shouting at the screen. Just keep reading.   Before we got pregnant, both of us had enough wisdom to understand what we were doing, in as much as we knew that this would change our lives.  Would it be for the better? That was the plan.  Would it enrich our lives? We hoped so.   But to think that a child would turn our world into a magical place of perfection and joy was never a thought.   If anything, the world worked against us from day one. (Still is.) There were challenges of all kinds and new hurdles to jump. Just about the time you thought you were out of the woods, BAM, here we go again.   Betty was and
