Note: told by Dr. Mike Murdock, but paraphrased for easy rendering here.

He told the story of a university student who, after much learning in college, was pondering the existence of God, and the sense behind His creations:

Student: Dad, I don't think there's a God, and if there is, He must not be wise at all.

      (the conversation was taking place on a farm)

Dad: Why do you say so, son?

Student: Look at this small acorn that hangs on a big oak tree branch; and the big watermelon that lies on a fragile vine on the ground? If God was wise, he'd put the big watermelon on the strong oak branch, and the small acorn on the fragile vine.

Dad: Hmmm.

 There and then, while he was still talking, an acorn falls off its branch, and drops off on top of his head.

Student: Thank God that was not a watermelon!

  .........the earth has all manner of knowledge, yet none compares to what was already here on earth before we (humans) got here. All of creation has hidden wisdom, and only if we pay attention do we realize that it's all---whatever we want to know---already here, all around us. Does it not Cry!

I was created with a brain, a mind, and it does not work without knowledge, and in no way am I bettered as a person without learning. So out in the open, out here on this blog, I will learn, be a student of all that's around me. I will note as much as possible here. And I will gladly have any and all who will like to come along to walk with me. Thanks.
