Rocky Mountain Wallpaper…

Every now and then you catch a glimpse of something, or Someone, beyond this world, right in this world.

The Scripture is right: Romans 1:20 (ESV) …[God’s] invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made….

Stephen Hawking wrote:

The odds against a universe like ours emerging out of something like the Big Bang are enormous. I think there are clearly religious implications.

And:

It would be very difficult to explain why the universe would have begun in just this way except as an act of God who intended to create beings like us. ~Hawking as quoted by Timothy Keller in The Reason for God, p. 130.

Fog Over the Lake

I grabbed my camera as I went to a meeting this morning.  Generally, I don’t think to do so, but the trees on my street are simply brilliant, so I thought those along the Curwensville Lake would be quite remarkable as well.
What I didn’t expect was the beauty of the fog over the lake, obscuring the dam. I have these available in a larger size, if you’re interested.Curwensville Lake

Our God has a paintbrush that paints, not just on the trees, but even on the air.

Lower Taughannock Falls…

I love my wife.

She makes me get off my tail and go places. Click for Larger ImagePlaces I would never go without her urging. This past month she made me go to New York. Specifically to some of the parks around Ithaca. We stayed in a Bed and Breakfast in Ithaca and then went to Robert Treman and Taughannock Falls State Park. Wow — I was amazed by the beauty. Because it was an overcast day, only one picture turned out decent. I would like to go back for a longer visit on a sunnier day. Maybe mid to late May.

Thanks, Sweetie!
