Not Only Is the World Big, It is Also Beautiful

Amid the beauty of the Lord's creation also stands the poverty that is brought about by man . . .
It is almost impossible to totally experience the beauty in the world . . We try, and fail, and try again . . searching for what we are really all about . . . The granduer of the sky, the ocean, the trees and all of the things that man has created . . . Many are admirable and good . . . . We strive to be happy and to bring happiness to others that we surround ourselves with and occasionaly we share some of what we have with others who are not so fortunate.

In striving to reach the lifestyle that we desire to be happy we realize that only in our success can we have enough to learn to share with others who are not so fortunate . . . so we give . . . And hopefully in giving we also help others to create for themselves, for that is the only way we as human beings become useful . . Some need more help than others but in the final analysis, only their resourcefulness will create a life that will bring them if not happiness, at least survival . . . Why do we give for their survival? So that they may come to know the Lord . . . after all, that is the most important thing for their souls . . . As Christians we believe this . . . Perhaps the Lord has made a different way to Him for those who have not heard but that does not excuse us for not sharing and giving to those who are able to bring the gospel to others all around the world. . . Do we leave them alone in their ignorance? I do not think so. . .

To me much has been given and much is expected . . . therefore I strive to give much back . . .

Why Is The World So Big

Bouncing around on the ocean allows you to imagine what the world could be if we all worked together for the benefit of each other. . . . It is so big! . . . And filled with so much good . . . and evil . . .

How do we separate the good from the evil without the strife that we are continually involved in? . . . Only God knows . . .

My search is being conducted in the pages of His Word . . . The more I read the more questions I have . . . Why does man contantly strive to reach God and yet there are so many ways for him to try . . . Why was the mission given to His church to "Go and make disciples of all nations" . . Was it because He knew how very depraved man could become on his own with his own ways . . Not just toward each other but also his own ways of reaching God. . . God tells us in "His Word" what to do and how to do it and yet so many nations and people believe in different Gods and different writings . . . Is it the enemy of God who constantly stirs man's soul away from the One True God . . . It must be! . . . Only through faith can we have the strength and courage to do His will. . . . Wherever He has placed us. . . .

Continue in faith. . . . Live it . . . Love it . .. Pass it on. . . . .
