God is impossible, yet God is there.
We are a speck in a universe that appears vast beyond imagining, and life appears to be only here
on earth. Everything is so stable, yet balanced on a knife edge and 40 miles up from the earth we
could never live, or 5 miles down below the mantle.
That fact that life goes on, just the right distance from the sun, with a moon for the tides, a slight
offset to give us seasons it is all so staggering. It shouts to me one thing, "I love you"
In this apparent chaos and power, vastness that we are a blink, He has given us importance.
The King walked with us, talks to us, gave us His testimony and calls us to follow the love in our hearts.
I bow and lie prostrate in humble praise of our King.
If He was to destroy us, that would be just, to remove us like an ant invading a house, nothing would be
wrong, yet He has chosen to calls us precious and pour out His life to give us hope, even to the hopeless,
when those who should know better are too proud to listen.
Love beyond measure, a path of the Kingdom, a glorious way, carved through history by the prophets, calling
to us through the centuries from the bronze age where we knew nothing to today where we can talk via
the internet, and still His voice is clear, learn the way of love, learn my heart, learn eternity through the cross.

I like cats, except when their claws come out because they want to put you in your place.
Coffee, addiction?
I wonder if these two things stand as a barrier to something else?
I love Jesus because His love is eternal, and the cross, though death to this world, is the
door to eternity, Amen.

Looks lovely, there must be some interesting wildlife in those mountains.
We have Blue Mountains here too, I go there to ski, it has a very similar elevation but the foliage is not so dense.
....they also look blue from a distance at sunset because of the Blue Spruce.
