Earnest Earth Day 2024

“The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.” Psalm 24:1

Some of us are blooming, some wilting. Some of us are sowing, others are harvesting. Together, in the garden. I crave our Creator and love HIM. And you.

Have faith, my friends. 🙏🌍💛

“With all wisdom and understanding, he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.” Ephesians 1:8-10

National Park Week!

“There is nothing so American as our national parks … the fundamental idea behind the parks … is that the country belongs to the people, that it is in process of making for the enrichment of the lives of all of us.”President Franklin D. Roosevelt; 32nd president of the United States who signed Executive Order 6166, which created the National Park Service we know today

“If you drive to, say, Shenandoah National Park, or the Great Smoky Mountains, you’ll get some appreciation for the scale and beauty of the outdoors. When you walk into it, then you see it in a completely different way. You discover it in a much slower, more majestic sort of way.”Bill Bryson; American-British travel author/journalist

“The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land.” Psalm 95:5

“A national park is not a playground. It’s a sanctuary for nature and for humans who will accept nature on nature’s own terms.”Michael Frome; writer, educator, and conservationist

Walk away quietly in any direction and taste the freedom of the mountaineer. Camp out among the grasses and gentians of glacial meadows, in craggy garden nooks full of nature’s darlings. Climb the mountains and get their good tidings, Nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves. As age comes on, one source of enjoyment after another is closed, but nature’s sources never fail.” 

John Muir; Scottish-American naturalist, environmental philosopher, conservationist, and author known as “Father of the National Parks”

“Then God said, ‘Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.’”-Genesis 1:26

“The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.” Genesis 2:15
