Creation Testifies

We have spent most of the last two weeks traveling around Botswana seeing the sights.  It is an interesting and beautiful place. It is now the dry season.  I just recently got a memo that our water would be shut off one day per week to conserve.  But that also means clear skies and beautiful sunsets.

It is now fall, and I am amazed at the flowers still blooming.  Our our back door are the faithful blue blossoms that have entertained us for many weeks.  On campus there are new flowers blooming.

We have posted many pictures of the beautiful animals here.  Today we were driving down a back road and there was a big baboon.  You never know where and when something interesting will appear.

The variety here in amazing.  There are many different antelope species, all different.  There are many, many types of trees, shrubs, flowers, and people.  Why such variety?  Why such beauty?  Why such complexity?

SomeOne, somewhere is sending us a message.  I do NOT have enough faith to think all this just happened by luck alone.  Nobody, no place is that lucky.

As a cynic and skeptic, I still must realize that G^d created the earth.  He spoke it into existence.  He is creative.  He is merciful.  He is full of grace and truth.
