some days reality is just too overwhelming to face.

nature

i can't help but think that everything i need to know about God is staring me right in the face - all of nature including this planet, what's on it, in it, under it, over it and outside of it. so let me list what i see...



-size - it's unfathomably large

-diverse - limitless from where i sit

-complicated - often hard to understand

-consistent - we get the four seasons every year and daylight everyday (depending on where you live)

-beautiful - definitions may vary but there is beauty in everything we see

-incredible power - look at a storm, look at hurricanes/floods/tornadoes etc.

-a bit of an edge, maybe even anger - see above

-evolution - yeah, i said it, EVOLUTION!!! you can argue the cause but you can't argue the effect. things are definitely different today than they were 2000 years ago.

-humility - i'm still working this one out, but there's something to be said about who/what created all this and restraint we see in nature

-balance

-equity

-necessity of interaction
