Ponderings

Taking a moment today to just wonder......

I'm wondering how long it takes for a twist tie to disintegrate in a landfill.

I'm wondering how many licks it REALLY takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop.

I'm wondering how long you can keep potatoes out in the summer before that funky smell fills your kitchen.

I'm wondering how much it costs to make a toothpick.

I'm wondering why clothing styles come in and out of fashion. Why can't we come up with anything REALLY new?

I'm wondering if we really are a speck, just like in Horton Hears a Who. What if we're being carried around by a giant elephant?

I guess I'm just wondering silly, pointless things today. But, thinking is good. It keeps the brain cells young. I'm just being ridiculous today, but truthfully, of all the questions I ask here, the speck one is my favorite. I wonder if God holds us, like Horton, carefully placing us down at night so we don't bang into anything and get jostled around. I like to think that we really are carried around in the Creator's hand. I can't imagine creating something so incredible and not hanging around to watch it, to embrace it, to ponder it.

This isn't something you make and walk away from. This is grand in its design, a monumental achievement in architecture. The intricate way it all fits together, the seasons, the ebb and flow of the tide...it's just too perfect to be a mistake.

We are loved, and of that I have no doubt. You can't see the fall splendor and not feel as if you are a witness to the divine. No, we are not even a witness to it, we are a PART of it. The Creator is in us all.

I feel that everyday, and I hope that you do, too.
