What a face

This is Josh, he is the class clown among cats. Hang around awhile and I'm sure you'll see more kitties. If you don't like cats, we have dogs and horses too. The animals teach us a lot about ourselves. They bring out the best and worst in us, God uses them to show us our hearts all the time!

The horses lept for joy today, they twisted, turned, bucked and reared all for the joy of freedom. They've been cooped up in the barn for a while, so today when the doors flew open... They were FREE! They rolled in the mud, they rolled in the snow. I need to remember the joy of freedom is mine always. I'm not cooped up, I am free. Lord, give me a heart of joy as free as my horses, to realize what you've given in Christ, sweet freedom.

Sara did a cool experiment today on the fragility of enzymes, it is so amazing to see how heating fresh pineapple totally destroys the enzymes in it. Our bodies need enzymes and because they are so fragile they must be constantly renewed. That is how fragile we are, that is how dependent we are on someone to hold it all together. Who can hold together enzymes that our bodies need ? Who can
continually recreate them to sustain us? I never even thought about enzymes in our bodies before today. I surely can't do anything to will these enzymes to function, and yet they do. It is marvelous. Science taught me today anew about God: He holds all things together! I know this, but when I see it, wow...
Psalm 139
13For you formed my inward parts;
you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.
14I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you,when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
16Your eyes saw my unformed substance;in your book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them.
17How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!
