"If you just pay attention to Nature, it will speak to you, and tell you stories."
I know you're thinking... PAH.. that's only tree-hugging nonsense.
No it's not. Seriously, think about it... Nature is beautiful, God made it that way for a reason.
Let the fields and their crops burst forth with joy!
Let the trees of the forest rustle with praise!
Psalm 96:12
Instead of walking right past an anthill to avoid stepping on a bunch of ants, Grant (the nature Guru here at PKRC) stopped in his tracks, leaned down and said, "come look at these Harvester Ants guys, they travel around in a certain order just looking for seeds to bring back to the nest, after they peel away the shells, they pile them up outside of the hole. Look at em."
Oh you little harvester ants, you.. they are so smart... they are organized, they follow the plans given to them, and at the end of the day, their "Queen" is pleased with them.
Kind of like us. Hah... bet you weren't expecting this analogy at all, were you? ;)
We are "intended" to follow the plans that God himself gives to us. Whether we like the idea or not. I mean, duh... it's gunna be hard. But in the end, if it pleases my King, hey.. count me in!
Human plans, no matter how wise or well advised,
cannot stand against the LORD.
Proverbs 21:30
So anyways, this morning was over-all pretty exciting. I learned about the different types of birds in Central Texas, different plants, and little creatures, and I even got a little bit of fishing time in, today. I forgot how much I really enjoyed just walking through the woods...
Corey, our new "on staff" chef... made us 3 incredible meals today. Holy moley, I am so spoiled... I totally thought for the longest time that I would be cooking all of the meals, for the staff... and campers. But oh no... then walks in the New Orleans native, Mister Corey. Whew. I'm gunna be fat by the end of this summer, if he keeps cooking those stinkin' good meals everyday.
CPR Training tomorrow. We shall see how well I can give the hind-lick.
I mean... the heimlich..
(Dad, that cheesy joke was for you.)
Some pics from today:
I even made a cute little wooden cross. :)
And caught a few little Blue Gill...
