Color Programming

Ever wonder how the yellow color gets programmed to spread only so far on the flower?  What kind of Artist could create such an amazing work of color and design which grows from a seed?

I Wonder...

Sometimes I wonder what Adam and Eve thought while walking in The Garden of Eden.  How beautiful it must have been just after God created it and said that it was good.  I think the creation is beautiful today but to see it in the beginning would have been absolutely awesome.

I find comfort reading the Bible, especially in these uncertain times.  It's comforting to know that what we see is not all there is or will be.  What God has planned for those who love Him will be beyond what we could ever expect or imagine.  The Bible says, "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him." (1 Corinthians 2:9) 

Isn't it Amazing?

Isn't it amazing that we're on a planet swirling around the universe yet we're surrounded by beautiful and orderly things such as this?  I know that there are some who believe in evolution, which is to say nothing + nobody = everything.  But the design in the universe doesn't seem to be random.

Over the course of his life Albert Einstein became a deist - a believer in an impersonal creator God.  He once stated, "I believe in Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with fates and actions of human beings."  Einstein was half right.

Airport Wildflowers

I picked up my wife, Amber, at the Portland airport yesterday morning. Very close to the airport is an Embassy Suites Hotel where I usually park and wait until she calls to say they've landed. As I turned into Embassy's lot I noticed a field of wildflowers. These look like they're from the poppy family. It's interesting to think that this small part of life still goes on below commercial airliners making their approach for landing.

Isn't God's creation wonderful?!!

Pine Wood Marvel

Our oldest daughter and our daughter-in-law went on a company paid trip to Lake Tahoe for the weekend. They brought some of these big pine cones home as souvenirs since they're readily available on the ground. We don't know the variety of these heavyweights but they sure are interesting.  And they sure are sticky.

Multnomah Falls

Multnomah Falls is about 30 miles east of Portland in the Columbia Gorge. It's probably one of the most visited spots for tourists.  Here's how it looked yesterday afternoon with new spring growth on some of the trees.

I took plenty of photos so over the next couple of weeks I'll be sprinkling them into the blog.

I wish you could hear the sound and feel the spray!  What a spectacular display of creation!
