An Amazing God

February 20, 2009 By: Ryan Category: Fun Stuff, God

I grew up in a teaching home.  My mom was and still is a teacher.  Needless to say, school didn’t end during the summer.  Our summers consisted of regular visits to the Indianapolis Children’s Museum, working on MANY 4-H projects (actually mom did most of the work), and my favorite, rock-hunting.

To this day, when I go home, Mom and I (and the boys) are making a trip to an area creek bed in search of fossils like crinoids, horned-coral, trilobites, etc.  We also REALLY like to find geodes.  There is something amazing in finding a fairly ugly rock on the outside and cracking it open to unveil the beauty on the inside (there’s a spiritual analogy there that I will tackle in a later post).  Every geode is different on the inside so it is always a mystery.

Recent, I was reading a National Geographic magazine when I came upon an amazing article about an amazing cave in Mexico.  Scientists have found a cave, 400 feet below the surface, that is full of MAMMOTH crystals.

They say it is like stepping into a giant geode!!!

Just goes to show you how AMAZING our God is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
