"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,...

He created it all

A nasty thunderstorm had just ended. Trees and power lines were down all over town. I spotted this single leaf in a parking lot.

Why I forbid commenting

Mr. Eastwood summed it up perfectly. Autistic AND non-autistic people alike can be very cruel. I don't need any un-necessary pain in my life.  Here is a link to a New Yorker (yes, the New Yorker) article from 2013 on anonymity and the internet:http://www.newyorker.com/tech/elements/the-psychology-of-online-comments Disabling commenting stops trolling before it begins. My writing anonymously allows me to share and educate facts and opinions. God has something to say regarding the power of words (hard-core atheists please breathe deeply or press the back arrow now). "The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one's life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell." James 3:6   "Death and life are in the power of the tongue,  and those who love it will eat its fruits." Proverbs 18:21 ESV The Bible also says words are containers for power. Scripture blows the "sticks ...
