Yes you end up hearing leaves, water, animals, and other things, but it's truly remarkable how peaceful the forest is. People these days really have no clue how marvelous everything is when we allow God to show us through his heart. <a href="https://graceworldchristianfellowship.com/about" rel="nofollow">Christian churches Riverside Ca</a><br />B.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15136359316573519207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26519755.post-63215415549232110192016-11-02T15:26:18.804-06:002016-11-02T15:26:18.804-06:00Thanks, Allan, for sharing your thoughts.

Maybe because of its unfortunate history as a monumentally bogus anti-evolution argument.<br /><br />But as an analogy, it has merit. In our world, our communities, and our individual lives (at least mine), it seems that things naturally fall apart. Our human efforts may be able to bring order temporarily, but (to switch metaphors) eventually the storm comes and the orderly houses we build on sand are washed away.<br /><br />Good to remember that in Jesus all things come together (rather than fall apart). And that until we realize that fully at the eschaton, Jesus can bring new life with at least some of the order we crave and need in the here and now.Allan Harveynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26519755.post-17576491568737597702016-10-20T19:33:21.098-06:002016-10-20T19:33:21.098-06:00So good to hear from you, Dave.

I'm never sure it exactly fits scriptural definitions of redemption, but I do feel like Christ has/is taking all of my broken pieces and putting them back together into some beautiful new sculpture.(Seems that way on the best days of course...)I can only assume if he can do it for my significant wreck of a life he can do it for a wrecked world. I'm grateful for both.<br /><br />All blessings to you and yours,<br /><br />Dave MorganDave Morgannoreply@blogger.com
