God's Creation Declares His Godhead

I joined a discussion group on religion, and I found a question which prompted the following response from me.  The question was, "What motivates people to convert to a religion?"


Tom, thank you so much for adding me to this community.  I think your question of what motivates a person to convert to a religion is most interesting.  I think the answer is that the part of us that is in the image of God has to do not with two eyes, a nose, two legs etc... it has to do with that need for fellowship with another that is brought about by free choice.  That becoming intimate with another as in the barring of a mind to another without reserve, and being accepted by the other is the craving of the human soul.

"For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:"  Romans 1:20





I Have Found a Poet Whose Words I Love!

Oh have I ever found a poet whose words I love...

Another one of my loves is photography, and this is one of my favorites I made of wildflowers in Austin County in Texas.

He was a thinking man, who longed for God, and he was Iranian...  This man knew God leaves no room for hatred among people of the world.

If God Invited You To A Party

If God
Invited you to a party
And said,
'Everyone
In the ballroom tonight
Will be my special
Guest...'

How would you then treat them
When you
Arrived?

Indeed, indeed!


And I know
There is no one in this world

Who
Is not upon
His Jeweled Dance
Floor

I Knew This All Along...

This article is very telling about the withdrawal from Iraq of US Military forces.

The patriots of Iraq and Afghanistan are due so much.  They have risked so much, and will pay so dearly if their governments are not supported until the process of a democracy slowly brings about honorable leadership. 

 I will start planting flowers for spring soon...
The Star Flowers of Austin County, Texas are coming soon!

Actually, This Goat Lives At My House

I laughed until I cried, and actually that little goat is black and white, and has little six inch solid black horns... Picture to follow tomorrow of this little goat all grown up... if he doesn't snatch and eat the camera before I can get out of his enclosure and lock the gate behind me...  Here is a picture of when my goat was very little, and very cute...  He's still cute, but now he is a little more... "opinionated."
