We have the first sign of spring in our neck of the woods; Carla got her first seed catalogue!

I heard someone say something I hadn’t heard in a long time:  “Close the door, were you raised in a barn??!!”

Now whoever came up with that comment had never been on a farm, at least none I have ever been around, I figure it was some big city person that didn’t know anything about farming.

The only time a barn door is open is to let animals in, or animals out – other than that, it is closed.  As a matter of fact, I remember the barn and chicken coops my grandmother had, she had the main door, which was always closed except to enter or leave.

She had a sliding door with chicken wire covering it.  You would close the outer door, open the chicken wire door, close it behind you and then walk over a couple of feet and open the chicken wire door to enter the building, closing it behind you.

All designed to keep the chickens in the building. 

One of my cousins didn’t do that and several escaped – we all learned a valuable lesson (he learned the most...) KEEP THE BARN DOOR CLOSED!

Just thought I would share, my thought...maybe someone has the real story?

------------------------------

Genesis 1:1   KJV  “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”

I find it interesting how people mock those that believe the earth is a new earth, somewhere just over 6000 years old.

That God created everything in six 24 hour days.

Some look at creation and say, how could God possibly have created such an intricate universe and all that is in it in just six days?  They believe in God, they believe He created, just can’t believe it took such a short time.

While others will say that we have to adjust what the Bible says, because it doesn’t match up with what scientists say about how old the earth is, so He had longer days, or something, but it has to somehow agree with the evolutionists’ theories – which continually change and many are disproven, but not admitted in their desire to explain in a more ‘logical’ way how the universe came about.

Of course many deny there was any spiritual being that created anything; everything came from a small mass which exploded and became all the suns, planets, moons and anything and everything else in the universe.

Somehow this exploded mass then formed cells that became living things which eventually evolved into what we have today – so our first ancestor was a rock of some kind, I guess.

It just happens that gravity holds things in place and keeps them in place so well that we can make determinations where they will be hundreds and thousands of years from now.

It just happened that molecules came into being, cells were formed, atmosphere, water, animals, and humans all evolved from that first mass of whatever it was that was just out there somehow.

There was no creation, there was no design it all just ‘happened.’

And they believe that makes more sense than a well-planned and designed creation by a being fully capable of doing such a thing.

I am not a theologian, I am not a scientist, but, the Bible makes far more sense to me than evolution.

I believe in God.  I believe He is the Creator.  He created the universe the way He told His scribes to write it. 

And since He is capable of doing such a thing, then He can do it in any time frame He desires!

Isaiah 8:6-9    KJV  “  Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:

⁷ Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

⁸ For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.

⁹ For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.”

That makes a lot more sense to me.
