Shade Tree Wisdom 10/6/09

Well, talk about turn-around weather. Reaching over 90- today. It hasn’t been this warm this late since, they say, 1928. But there was a breeze during my early morning walk, even before the yellow boxes made their runs.

Much ado about this skeleton they found which they claim is the oldest ever found, etc etc. You can fill in the rest of the statement yourself.

Mankind always flounders when it starts on such courses. The simple story of the Bible Creation of an Almighty, all-seeing God is just TOO simple.

Recently I saw some pictures. One is of a Blue-footed booby. That’s a water bird. Another is an ashy-headed goose. Yet another a picture of a bald eagle in flight. Why look beyond the marvels all around us. There is enough to keep us occupied for the rest of our days. Isn’t there?

A look at Psalm 8, well, let’s listen “You have set your glory above the heavens.”. . ."When I look at the heavens, the work of your fingers, the work of the stars, which you have set in place, what is man, that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him. You have made him a little lower than the angels, and crowned him with glory and honor.”

Then, finally, “O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth”.
