Four Grandchildren born years apart, three on the same day, celebrating their birthdays in the same week.

Makes it easier for my mind to remember – although with everything going on in the past couple of months the dates still snuck up on me. 

Looking out the window I see the sun shining one moment and then shadows from the clouds that cover it the next.  In the past few days the trees in our neighborhood have changed into their pretty Autumn colors and are starting to lose their leaves.

We had a flock of humming birds come through this weekend, tanking up on food before they moved on.  Those birds don’t worry about what others are doing, they eat – and many times we saw four on one feeder and more on others.  The local ones usually chase each other around trying to be the king of the feeder and claim them for themselves.

It is a wonder with all the energy they use to chase each other off they even get a sip, but they do and we are back to replacing the food at about two to three cups a day.

We will be putting more birdseed out shortly, the other birds will need it to help them stay through the winter.  There is a house up above us where the owner used to put out at least half a dozen feeders – those I could see – but there are new owners and they aren’t doing that so we will need to help take up the slack.

Meanwhile all of our pets are hunkered down for the long fall and winter nights.

Proverbs 9:10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

Scientists, through the ages, have strived to determine how certain animals function.  While on the surface it is a money pit, there are times that they have learned things about the creation that they can copy and make life easier or safer for humans.

The premise is rarely to see how God has worked, but how they can tie it to the theory of evolution.  They then preach their evolutionary religious propaganda praising themselves for their discovery and how it had taken billions of years to accomplish.

What amazes me is that man can ascertain many things about our universe and all that is in it because they are so well planned out.  They can see the mathematical, the blueprints, the basis for one fantastic fact after another.

Based on the intricacy of what God has created you would think that alone would make them realize that things didn’t just happen willy nilly, it was designed.  God executed His plans and the results are things that are predictable and the way can be ‘discovered’ and, in some instances actually copied.

It also amazes me that they acknowledge that blueprints and detail plans must be developed for almost anything invented.  From carts to bicycles to boats to cars to airplanes and anything else - somewhere there is a creator who thought it up and had the wherewithal to make it.

Yet they look at the complexity of any part of the human body and say it evolved from an unknown period size mass of energy that exploded and made everything in the universe, and the most recent and, obviously the most important result, was mankind.

They have knowledge, but they do not know.  Without God in the equation all they have is the end results – while they can backtrack on each part of the body to see how it acts and inner relates with the other body parts, it does not tell them how they came about they just surmise to support their religion of evolution.

The more man becomes independent, the more he thinks he can live without God.  After all look at what he has accomplished.

It is a dangerous premise.  When we think we are our own person to the point of excluding the Creator, and therefore He is not in the equation, we fall into the same trap that the Jews fell into as documented in His Word.

These things are written down for a reason.  God wants us to understand the danger of turning our backs on Him.

He also wants us to understand that He does love us and He is willing to guide and direct us, but we must abide by His dictates, not our own.

He gives two promises, following Him through His Son, will give us eternal life with Him.  Failure to accept the Son will give us eternal life in Hell.

The choice is ours.  Do we have the wisdom to fear and love God above all things, or do we discard His warnings and live out our lives on earth without Him.

Later, Art :-)
