Is there a God? (The leaf)


When I was about ten years old
this question came to my thoughts.
Is there a God?
Of course being only ten the thought was only a brief one.
There are so many wonderous things to do when your ten.
Riding bikes, playing "Kick the can".
When your ten everything is new and to be explored.
So one day I picked up a leaf.
There on the underside were the veins of the leaf.


My first thought was that these lines must have a purpose.

I did not understand all the science that I was later to learn about a leaf.

But still I saw a purpose and complexity.

I saw a design which means.

There must be a designer.

So I naturally I thought.

God made this leaf.

Who else could do this.

Seemed pretty obvious to me as a child who God is.

He is the designer of leaves.

My very first blog.
Life is full of "first".
As of matter of fact,
everything you have ever done was once a "first".
Then before you know it
your doing seconds and thirds.
Then it's not quite so exciting anymore.
But it's easier because you have done it all before.
Easy is good.
But now I miss the excitement of when it was a "first".

Remember that first kiss.

Wow!!!!!

O.K. so I don't have a real picture of my first kiss.
Who does!!

Kisses are still very nice.
But that first one was sure exciting.
If I could have a choice between reliving
"First Blog" or "First Kiss."
First kiss wins,
but maybe this time I wouldn't miss her lips.
