A Shake of the Cosmic Dice

CS Lewis said something along these linesâ€“at least I think it was him, and I think this is what he saidâ€“â€œNever go a day without wondering at something God created.â€ I think it is good advice and have come to enjoy taking a moment each day to wonder and consider the beauty and simply enjoy the glory of a mighty storm front, a snowfall in which every single flake is hand crafted as it were, or the antics of some critter of God.Â

So, I want to begin sharing some of my observations. God has given us two books to read in order to come to understand Him more: the Word in Text, and the Book of Nature.

Last Saturday, the students at Ellerslie were doing a fundraiser where they raise funds for orphans by serving widows for the day. It is a great opportunity, and a creative fundraiser idea, and now Iâ€™ll shamelessly ask you to consider donating to the project here at Both Hands. It is a great organization that helps families come up with the money to adopt. However, through a series of seeming flukes, while one group was serving a widow in Estes Park, she invited us to go meet and spend time with another widow. To my wonder, and excitement I ended up have the privilege of meeting with this â€œother widow.â€ She just happened to be Major Ian Thomasâ€™ widow.
