"Partnership"


In my last post, I wrote about God (Father, Son and Spirit) creating everything in Genesis Chapter One. He created everything and declared it to be good, including mankind. Then mankind sinned and messed up God's perfect plan. 
Cone flower and Milkweed feed the butterflies who need it to survive, especially the Monarchs, who undertake a migration route from Canada to Mexico, the original generation setting out never to see their destination.
We admire the Cone flower and butterflies for their aesthetic beauty. God also had that in mind. I have been asked pointedly, in ALL CAPS, why God allows bad things like poisonous plants to kill innocent children who stray from their parents and eat them.
The reality, which is very unpopular (just about anything having to do with God and His truths are in America today), is that nobody is good without Jesus. Adam and Eve brought sin into the world via their free will. That included, among other things, poison, greed, lust and death.
They had to leave their lovely garden in Eden where God supplied their every need.
Mankind causes pollution and over industrialization. We kill. We steal and we reject God.
God, Who is Omnipotent, foreknew our propensity to sin, so He sent His Son, Jesus, to die a painful and humiliating death in our place-and rise again.
Revelation tells us that a new time will come. God will gut this earth and do a major renovation that will rival anything on HGTV. 

"And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband." Revelation 21:1-2 KJV

His saints (all those who believe in Jesus) will be permanent citizens of this new and wonderful place called "The New Jerusalem". Sin won't exist anymore.
I am sure there will be a garden even more lovely than the first one, before mankind ruined it.
Let us praise God for His Son, Jesus, and all the good He has created and is creating. Let us praise God for making us acceptable by Jesus' sacrifice at Cavalry.
Amen.

First Day of Spring

Cherry blossom tree in Springtime with light blue sky Today is the first day of Spring.  As of late, I have presented a lot of dark, weighty subject material. I thought it was time for something positive and lighter. While Winter serves as a cushion and break from the outside sensory world, it also renews me for the next season. Spring helps me to appreciate the present a little more, as Summer can be tough with kids being off of school and setting off fireworks. Here is to the present. I also want to take the time to thank the Lord for always being with me, no matter how dark things get.

The Onion in the Petunia Patch Chapter Two

Chapter Two: Treatments I am wearing a tight-fitting skullcap. The things on the skullcap are injected with gel and then wires called leads are connected to them. Before the skullcap can go on, though, I must have my forehead wiped with a   gritty   cleanser that will allow the leads to get a "cleaner" picture of my brain activity.  The skullcap has two straps that my mom fastens to my chest. It is now time for my EEG. Unlike EEG's that map out images of the brain, this one will be recording my brain waves. The objective is to find out if there is any disturbance in my brain waves, and if there is, enough to warrant intervention. If you are touch sensitive, I do not see how you could have this test done. I am not touch sensitive, but I found when the gel was being injected into the little red things, it felt like my scalp was getting the injection. I even asked if they were giving me a shot in my scalp. They assured me I was not getting an injection in my scal...
