Not much occurring today.  Carla is transplanting tomatoes, has about 60 done already – only about 200+ more to go.  This is her first transplant, will put them in larger ‘pots’ – okay, cut down plastic one gallon milk cartons – to give away sometime in May or so.

She loves playing in the dirt.

Genesis 1:24-25 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

²⁵ And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

How many times have you heard the question, ‘which came first the chicken or the egg?’  It is usually followed by, no one knows.

But it is quite clear.  The chicken came first; it was created by God as a chicken.  Not a duck or deer or fly or fish, it was created as a chicken.

God made sure that all of the earth was created in a manner to sustain the life forms that He created.  Without those symbiotic roles of one animal, or insect or some other creature that benefits and protects another of God creatures they wouldn’t survive.

Man is finding out more and more of the minor things that God has done to protect one species from another; or, how another creature benefits even the smallest life.

I copied the following article from my e-mails this morning:

The potter wasp is a solitary wasp that makes a mud nest with several rooms in it. At egg-laying time, the wasp lays one egg in each cavity and leaves some food in each cavity. She also leaves behind a security force!

You see, there is another species of parasitic wasp that seeks out a potter wasp nest to lay its eggs. When it is successful, the baby potter wasps would have no chance of survival if it wasn't for the security force. The mother potter wasp has very specialized pockets on its back. Tiny mites live within those pockets, causing no harm to the wasp. Then, while the potter wasp lays her eggs, some of the mites exit and remain in each room with the egg. These mites will remain in the nest after it is sealed, feeding on the food left for the hatchlings. They also mate at this time, which conveniently provides a population of mites as food for the young potter wasps. While these mites are peaceful creatures, they are the security force, and should a parasitic wasp get into the nest, they eagerly attack it.

This arrangement that benefits both the potter wasp and the mites is too intricate to have come about by accident. It was designed by the same Creator Who protects His children.

We see and read article after article of such creations.  God’s intricate handiwork is all around us, those things we can see and those things that are too small – or too large – for us to fully comprehend.

But we just have to look around to see there was a plan for everything, a blue print, an idea fulfilled to verify that someone had to be behind it – it didn’t just happen.

Psalm 75:1 Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.
