LAND AND WATER

I DISCOVERED SOME OF THE WILDEST COUNTRY YESTERDAY. I WALKED CAREFULLY ALONG THE RIVER ALWAYS SEARCHING FOR SIGNS OF ANCIENT ARTIFACTS THAT WOULD IDENTIFY THE PEOPLE THAT LIVED HERE NOT SO LONG AGO. I JUST KNEW THAT I WAS THE FIRST PERSON THAT HAD SET EYES ON THIS PLACE. I COULD VISUALIZE THE INDIANS TRAVELING UP AND DOWN THE RIVER IN THEIR CANOES.

ENJOYING THE LAND. THE GRASS THE TREES EVEN IN THE DEAD OF WINTER THE LAND SCAPE IS VERY INVITING TO THOSE WHO LOVE THE OUTDOORS. WOOD FOR FIRE, WATER FOR DRINKING AND COOKING. PLANTS AND ANIMALS FOR FOOD. SOME HOW I JUST KNOW THAT NO ONE HAS BEEN HERE SINCE EARLY MAN.



THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN SUCH A BEAUTIFUL GROUP OF BIRDS APPEARED ON THE EDGE OF THE WATER. THEN SCRIPTURE FROM ROMANS CHAPTER 1:19_22 -- GOD HAS SHOWN HIMSELF TO US. THERE ARE THINGS ABOUT HIM THAT PEOPLE CANNOT SEE--HIS ETERNAL POWER AND ALL THE THINGS THAT MAKE HIM GOD. BUT SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD THOSE THINGS HAVE BEEN EASY TO UNDERSTAND BY WHAT GOD HAS MADE. SO PEOPLE HAVE NO EXCUSE FOR THE BAD THINGS THEY DO. THEY KNEW GOD BUT THEY DID NOT GIVE GLORY TO GOD OR THANK HIM. THEIR THINKING BECAME USELESS. THEIR FOOLISH MINDS WERE FILLED WITH DARKNESS. THEY SAID THEY WERE WISE BUT THEY BECAME FOOLISH.

THESE ARE SO BEAUTIFUL. BIRDS THAT ARE THE CREATION OF GOD. I MAY BE THE FIRST WHITE MAN THEY HAVE EVER SEEN.

WOW WHAT A BEAUTIFUL LAND SCAPE. WHAT A VIEW!!!

CAN'T YOU JUST SEE THE INDIAN CAMPS ALONG THE RIVER WITH THE LITTLE INDIANS PLAYING IN THE WATER. WHAT A TIME THEY MUST HAVE HAD.

WHAT???

I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN IT WAS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE. OH WELL GET OUT AND ENJOY GOD'S CREATION ANY WAY IT IS STILL HIS IDENTITY AND WE ARE CREATED IN HIS IMAGE.

HAVE A BLESSED WEEK.
