Him:
So God created some pretty amazing
things in those first six days and I’m struck by the beauty of many of them all
around me every day. I recognize that I’m not the most well-traveled
individual around (although I’ve seen a ton of California and this is a pretty
awesome place- beaches, deserts, rivers, lakes, waterfalls, redwoods, the Sierras,
Yosemite, Tahoe, Joshua Tree…) but I have to admit that mankind, even with our
dark side – our propensity to sin against each other, ourselves, this world,
our Creator… - we are the crown jewel of His creation. All the beauty of a
sunset lit shoreline, the power of a raging river, the vastness of the views
from the highest peaks… they’re all impressive. But nothing impresses me more
than the feat of the sixth day. 
We’ve built empires
and trashed them. We’ve built skyscrapers and toppled them. We’ve explored the
moon. We’re headed to Mars. We’ve joined man and machine to restore function to
damaged parts. We’ve been to the bottom of the oceans and daily about 16% of
the world population defy gravity in flight. We’ve launched into a technical
era that has brought us together in ways unimaginable until recent years. And our capacity to care, to love, to serve, to persevere, demonstrate glimpses of His likeness. While
these are all extraordinary feats what amazes me most is watching the human
body push beyond expectations, exceeding what was thought to be our limit,
performing with dynamic magnificence and toeing the line of impossible. Here is
a compilation of some of God’s greatest work in His hand-crafted playground:
Genesis 1:31
“God saw all that He had made, and it was
very good”
