Toddler Creations

I love how creative my son is. Has your toddler built a tower out of blocks lately? Have they decorated the refrigerator with magnets or stickers? Have you shown them how to glue pieces of paper together? Have they drawn with markers on some of their toys or books? I call these “toddler creations” and I love to collect and photograph them. I want to remember, years from now, what toddler creations my son has made. I want to show off his creative ideas in his scrapbook. I want to share his creativity with our friends and family by letting … Continue reading →

Why I Believe In A Creator

Last Saturday afternoon my husband and I decided it was too perfect a day to spend inside. We took off with our pup to the beach ten minutes away. A sky blue and almost cloudless, turned the waters of Jervis Bay a brilliant mix of turquoise and cerulean shot through with varying shades of green. Fringing the waters of the bay were the deep green bush land of Booderee and Jervis Bay National Parks. Stopping now and then to look out at the view toward the headlands and the small island perched in the middle of the blue, or to … Continue reading →

Which Requires More Credibility?

Yesterday my husband and I took a day off work, and thinking about the house situation, and took ourselves out to the Western Plains Zoo at Dubbo. What a wonderful day we had, enjoying the infinite variety and creativity of our great God. I was reminded of a book I’m currently reading for review and the words of Kate the narrator of Hello God by Moya Simons ‘Wow, God you have a great imagination.’ This was exactly what I thought as I looked the majesty of the African Lion. It wasn’t hard to see why C.S. Lewis chose a Lion … Continue reading →

The Mighty Ocean

Posted on by

One of the most spectacular sceneries I’ve viewed is the Pacific Ocean. The mountains are beautiful as is the Grand Canyon and Yellow Stone National Park, but it’s the ocean that has fascinated me the most. From a distance one can see the pounding of the waves but when walking along the shore, it’s easy to forget that body of water is powerful and ought to be feared in a sense of respect. One summer while on our family vacation, my friend and I decided to go out playing in the ocean. Thought we felt the strength of the current … Continue reading →

Fearing Science

How do you feel about science? What kinds of things come to mind when you think about science? Maybe you think about chemistry and biology. Maybe you think about doctors and medicine. Maybe you think about experiments and tests. Maybe you think about stem cells and evolution. More than likely your view of science depends on your experience with the subject. However, your view of science is probably also influenced by your faith in God. With all the talk of things such as embryonic stem cell research and evolution, does your faith in God cause you to fear science? I … Continue reading →

Believing in What We Can Not See

Posted on by

I don’t believe it’s our job to convince people of the existence of God. Let’s face it, if people take a look around themselves and still can’t see the divinity of creation, how are we, by just our words, going to be able to convince someone differently? Psalm 19:1-2, “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork. Day unto day utters speech and night unto night reveals knowledge.” Romans 1:18-20, “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may … Continue reading →

Interesting Innovations

There’s the anti-spill water bowl for dogs that is designed for traveling, the e-Lation electric bike conversion kit, which turns a standard bicycle into an electric one while maintaining all the bike’s gears, and the Universal Tile Ventilator, a new type of roof tile that allows ventilation and heat to exit the roof space when there is no breeze through natural convection flow… interesting innovations are born everyday, but only a very small fraction of the creative (and sometimes crazy) creations go on to become household names. YouTube, the video-sharing website, happens to be one of them. Believe it or … Continue reading →

A Theory on the Universe

I have a theory on the universe I thought I’d share here. I may be so far off that many will think I’m nuts, but like I said, it is just a theory so thanks for hearing me out. Many people have opinions of outer-space; how big it is, whether other life forms exist, how big God is… I really think God’s ways, specifically referring to creation here, are so beyond our puny minds that we will never have it figured out. A friend of mine told me an interesting theory she had about aliens. She believes there could be … Continue reading →

Looking at the Stars

A few blogs ago I started an extension of my evidence series dealing with ways you can show your kids evidence for the existence of God. I think that looking at nature and the universe is a great way to show the existence of God to your children. First of all, most children are completely intrigued by things in nature and the universe. Secondly, the world we live in is God’s beautiful creation. From the intricate details of a flower petal to the grand mountain ranges to beautiful sunsets, God can be seen all around us. In the previous blog … Continue reading →

Evidence: The World Around Us

What types of evidence exist that point to the Lord and to His Word? I believe a strong evidence for the Lord is described in Romans 1:20 which states: “For His 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.” The creation – the world around us – clearly points to an Almighty Creator. Just today I was watching one of those nature shows. You know the ones I’m talking about – where the man is fearlessly hunting snakes that are longer … Continue reading →
