Is it a twig?


No, it's a moth. I discovered this moth on my front door, as I came in this evening. I looked it up on the internet and found it is a Buff tip moth, camouflaged to look like a birch twig. Is this moth so clever that it can develop this camouflage all by itself over many years? No, while it was changing it would be eaten. This moth was given its camouflage by God Almighty. I have looked at the theories of evolution and find them ridiculous and unbelievable. I do believe in God who can do anything and is a wonderful Creator who has designed a wonderful creation which works in symbiosis and polybiosis. A creation that once worked perfectly but has now been spoilt by human sin. Sin is a problem we humans all suffer from. None of us can accuse anyone else of being more sinful than we are, we all have the same problem. There is a solution to this problem. Jesus died to free us from sin and bring us back into God's favour. If we put our trust in Jesus our sin problem is solved. For more on this read the page indicated by the link below.

Why do many disasters happen?

I have written in previous posts about disasters. In the case of Concorde, decisions by people, plus other factors were directly to blame for the event.  In the case of the Penlee disaster it may have been avoided if someone had made a better choice in the time beforehand and as a consequence brave men and the ship's crew and the captain and his family died. 9/11 was certainly the result of wicked men committing a terrorist act, but even in this there was heroism notably by another Cornish man, Rick Rescorla who helped many to safety and left it too late to help himself.  In situations like this we see what the human spirit is capable of both good and evil. What of disasters that come on people because of the earth restless movement of tectonic plates.  Often people live near volcanoes because the land is rich and fertile and they have the chance of a better life there when the volcano is resting.  We cannot blame them for that but sometimes people become complacent...

Optimism conquering experience

I watched The Detectorists tonight. I have not watched it before. It is about a group of people who use detecting equipment to discover old coins and other things of archeological interest. This was the last in the series and had a bitter sweet feel to it.  One of the main characters asked,"Why do we do it?" and the other replied,"This is the nearest you will ever get to time travel." You have to be an optimist to do metal detecting.  There is always the attraction of making a big find or an important discovery.  Among all the tin cans and coat hangers found there is the hope of a Saxon hoard, or Roman gold. Optimism keeps them going.

Nostalgia

Nostalgia is usually a sudden pleasant memory triggered by a present stimulus.  The other day I opened a new bottle of bath creme which immediately sent me back to my youth.  The scent was described as lilac but to me it was the scent of violets and especially reminded me of the violet flavoured sweets we sometimes had.  I think my brother once used some to try to disguise that he had been smoking! Not a good move, whoever heard of a teenage boy wanting to smell of violets.  Nostalgia is usually a pleasant but maybe bitter-sweet thing. The smell of Astral soap always reminds me of a childhood holiday at my uncle's farmhouse.  Sometimes it is not possible to know why these triggers happen.  Do you often have nostalgic moments?
