Appreciate God's diverse creation

The hummingbird moth
Yikes! I was over at my aunt's house back in 2013. We were admiring her yard work when a few of these hummingbird moths came fluttering out of her white Phlox.
My aunt yelled, "Eek!", and ran promptly for the house.
That is probably what most people would do.
I, on the other hand, tried to touch it and then I grabbed my camera, fascinated with this curious insect or bird. I didn't know until I got home. I found out that the Hyles-lineata is only ONE kind of hummingbird moth.


My blog turned 1 week old. It is still a baby blog, so it has been undergoing lots of changes with editing and layout.

If you are still reading it, despite running into a few "bugs",  I thank you. 
God makes some of His creation elegant while other things look quite odd. Both God and National Geographic love them all.

May we appreciate the variety and diversity in which God has made Humankind!

I also want to take the time to thank the Lord for always being with me, no matter how dark things get.

More bullying and much more blame came from what was supposed to be a place of healing. I was told how spoiled I was, what a con-artist I was; manipulative (as if plugging my ears and screaming at the loud toddler visiting was my way of wanting to “get” something from someone-other than quiet). There were more suicide attempts. In 1998, I saw the next in a series of psychiatrists/psychologists. This man diagnosed me, wearily, with “autistic tendencies”. I was 19. I went on to getting into trouble with the law and almost being imprisoned. I firmly believe if it hadn't been for my mom’s nursing sense and persevering spirit, I would have gone to jail and would not be here today. I questioned God. I began to wonder if He really did exist. I decided that He did, but that He hated me, even was bullying me. How s...
