Having a round steak this evening, I fix them like I do pot roasts.  Beef comes from Rose’s steer.  Teresa processed some soup bones from the steer and produced some bone marrow gel some of which we will add to the can of golden mushroom soup and dried onion soup.

Those are the only two items not from home.  We have carrots and potatoes fresh from Carla’s garden that will be cooked along with the steak.

‘tis always nice to have homegrown food where you know it has been raised correctly.

Doing better, still muddling through but doing better.

Proverbs 6:5-8 Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.

⁶ Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:

⁷ Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,

⁸ Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.

I was watching a car commercial that said the engineers and designers took their cue from the elephant’s skull.

They then showed a brief example of the interior under the outer ‘skin’ of the car which was honeycombed.  They said that in doing so the car was lighter but stronger than a solid piece of steel or whatever they are using now.

The elephant skull, from what I can discern (according to photos I was able to locate on the web) is indeed honeycombed, I would assume to make it strong and put less strain on the neck of the elephant since it is so large – the honeycomb affect would make the skull lighter.

I have read of other discoveries made by scientists and engineers in the world of nature that have been applied to modern day devices.

By studying the animals not only do they learn more about the animal but they learn how they were created and many of these studies have turned into man’s ability to adapt and have an easier and safer life.

Romans 1:19-20  Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

²⁰ For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

It truly baffles me that those who make it their life work to study God’s Creation believe in the religion of evolution.  They believe that the universe was created from a small dot to what it is now – or at least what it has become right now in the process of billions of years.

They do not see the design of a creator – yet they use these dependable designs and information from God’s Creation to try and have a better understanding of what our universe is and in doing so are trying to also create, from God’s examples, a more efficient or safer or whatever lifestyle.

They study God’s Creation, not to worship God, but as an almost worship of the creation itself.  Focused on what has been created and not the God that created them, they deny God’s existence.

I do have concern for them.  God has made it very clear that these people are going to have to stand before Him in judgement and it will be a very bitter experience.

Verses 21-25 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

²² Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

²³ And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

²⁴ Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

²⁵ Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

What an incredible world we live in.  No matter where we reside or travel to, God has complex animals, plants or minerals that survive in that environment and provide energy, shelter and even food for those living there.

We don’t have to look very hard or long to see His Hand on everything around us.

Later, Art :-)
