ELETELEPHONY

Once there was an elephant,
Who tried to use the telephant -
No! No! I mean an elephone
Who tried to use the telephone -
(Dear me! I am not certain quite
That even now I've got it right.)

Howe'er it was, he got his trunk
Entangled in the telephunk;
The more he tried to get it free,
The louder buzzed the telephee -
(I fear I'd better drop the song
Of elephop and telephong!)

-- Laura E. Richards (1850-1943)

A Flying Miracle
July 2, 2013

Among God’s creatures, the butterfly is one of the most stunningly beautiful! Its gentle flight, colorful wings, and amazing migratory patterns are traits that make the butterfly a masterpiece of the natural world.

This flying insect, while supplying us with visual enjoyment, also supplies us with amazing examples of the marvels of God’s creative work.

For instance, the majestic monarch butterfly can travel 3,000 miles on its migration to Central America—only to end up at the same tree its parents or even grandparents landed on a generation or two earlier. It does this guided by a brain the size of a pinhead.

Or consider the monarch’s metamorphosis. After the caterpillar builds a chrysalis around itself, it releases a chemical that turns its insides to mush—no perceptible parts. Somehow from this emerges the brain, internal parts, head, legs, and wings of a butterfly.

One butterfly expert said, “The creation of the body of a caterpillar into the body and wings of a butterfly is, without doubt, one of the wonders of life on earth.” Another expert feels that this metamorphosis is “rightly regarded as a miracle.”

“How manifold are [God’s] works!” (Ps. 104:24)—and the butterfly is but one of them.

We stand amazed, God, at the awesome creation You
allow us to enjoy. From distant galaxies to beautiful
butterflies, You have given us a world that speaks loudly
of Your love for us. Thank You, Lord, for creation.

Creation’s design points to the Master Designer.

Read: Psalm 104:10-24

O Lord, how manifold are Your works! In wisdom You have made them all. The earth is full of Your possessions. —Psalm 104:24

Bible in a Year:
Job 22-24; Acts 11

Good morning, Rus.
Thank you for being here today with ODB .... the perfect way to start a day!

Wishing you a great Tuesday ... still talking to the dog and cat? :)

[JustAmy]

Hello, Friends!
Hoping everyone is handling the heat okay.
Suppose to be 111 again today.

Marissa has her guitar lesson this morning.
The lessons are scheduled for Thursday evenings but
since Thursday is a holiday, we've re-scheduled for this morning.
Hoping to get home before it gets unbearable out there.

Wishing everyone a Terrific Tuesday!

[JustAmy]

Thank you for your cute graphics.

I love your good-night posts.

Yes Ma’am! They don’t speak my language tho... :)
Family will be home Thursday, looking forward to it.

[JustAmy]

Good afternoon, Teenie.
Thank you for that adorable graphic!
Happy Tuesday to you.

We got home about 2:00 this afternoon and I was exhausted.
Decided to turn the thermostat down a couple of degrees and take a nap.
This heat is sooo draining. It is 108 right now. Suppose to cool down to 81 tonight.
I put some ice cubes out for the dogs hoping it would help a little.

Have a nice evening.

[JustAmy]

Our pets are almost like family but we sure miss our loved ones.
I know you will be happy when Thursday finally gets here.

[JustAmy]

Thank you for coming by Amy's Place today.
Looks like that cutie would be much more comfortable in a bikini. :)

Wishing you a wonderful evening and a Happy July.

[JustAmy]
