Rainbow Promise

I caught this rainbow yesterday afternoon near Albany, OR.  It was actually a double rainbow but I couldn't get the second one to show up on the images. 

Rainbows are amazing.  After the great flood God made a covenant that He would never flood the earth again and when the rainbow appears it's a reminder of that promise.  What an incredible love note.

Love Note?

I've been working in Southern Oregon the last couple of days.  After I got home tonight I took off again to get my wife and I some dinner.  This was the sunset as I was riding home.  I caught it on the late side.  A few minutes earlier it was more pink.

When I see colorful sunsets and sunrises I can't help but think that they are love notes from God telling us that He loves us.

Anatomy of a Leaf

The other day while walking through a healing garden at one of Portland's hospitals I decided to stop and look at things. Just take a moment to bring the issues of the day to a scretching halt and relax.

After choosing a couple of photos for posting, I was prompted to do a search on the anatomy of a leaf. The cross section showing the complexity of it was a reminder of not only 8th grade science class but of the amazing world in which we live.

Years ago I took an astronomy class. I was blown away by the vastness of the universe and what a small piece we are to the entire puzzle. Can there be life on other planets in other galaxies? So far we don't know but one thing is for sure. The design and order we find in something as simple as a leaf is most definitely a love note from our Creator.
