A Personal Reflection

I love nature and the beauty of God’s creative genius. I find it mind boggling.

A remark by my best friend when we were both around high school/college age that has stayed with me all my life is this:

“God could have made the whole earth black and white and with a constant 50 degree Fahrenheit temperature but He loved us so much that He gave us so much more – even enough for us to see a part of Him” – Norman Eckel

For this I am very grateful.
