Lindskoog: God's reality

    Commemoration of Clement, Bishop of Rome, Martyr, c.100
Meditation:
    The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.
    —Genesis 2:15 (NIV)
Quotation:
    There are great limits upon the human imagination. We can only rearrange the elements God has provided. No one can create a new primary color, a third sex, a fourth dimension, or a completely original animal. Even by writing a book, planting a garden, or begetting a child, we never create anything in the strict sense; we only take part in God’s creation.

Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, we acknowledge that You are the originator of all that is. CQOD    Blog    email    RSS
