This all started last week when I was jogging through my neighborhood. I noticed the tiniest little nests still in place clinging to the branches of trees and it made me think how awesome creation is and how there is no way I cannot believe that there is a creator and decided I needed to say it out loud. And now that I think of it, I have wondered how people could not believe in God for a long time, but a few days ahead of the aformentioned jog, my husband and I were watching a show about galaxies. They are not only are they numerous but so lovely for no particular reason and we were discussing God and creation.. so it really started there while I was sitting in my chair.
But now I think I really need to say that I believe in evil, and by that I mean the Devil, the Evil One, and any other name you can think of for him. He really wants to take God's people and bring them down and keep those who are not God's people from ever finding God. I have found out something about someone I am very close to that makes me know the Evil One is real and acts in our lives to tear us away from finding a closeness with God and each other. I am hurt and and angry by what I found out, but strangely not condemning.. Having said that, all the same I am going to remember something St Paul said.. test everything.. I know he was referring to faith issues, but it is really good advice
