     I am continually amazed at the wonder, beauty and vastness of God’s creation.  Sometimes I can only stand in awe of the beauty and praise Him for all of it, every tiny detail.       The Hubble telescope has enabled us to see even more of His glorious work.  The beauty of this “space butterfly”…

     At 10:30 this morning, I was struck by the amazing quiet of my home.  It was quiet.  Really quiet.  There was sound, of course.  The hum of the pool filter came in through the open windows, and the breeze was just enough to sound the big, copper wind chimes in the back yard from…
