Thanksgiving Challenge, Day 16

Day #16: I'm thankful God is the Creator.

There's not much to add to that statement. It's pretty well summed up right there. God created everything in six days. And as I pondered that, I was mostly thinking about how beautiful our universe is: stars, planets, oceans, mountains, trees, flowers, animals. But then I thought about the fact that everything in his creation is fully functional as well. It's not only pretty, it all works like a well-oiled machine. God is not only an artist, creating the universe's amazing masterpieces, he's an engineer, perfectly designing its systems. Beauty and function!

A Perfectly Fall Afternoon

 After having lived in the south for 5 years, I can finally say that I made it to Sky Top Orchard! We went with some friends from our community group at church and my sister. I love the fact that, living in the upstate, we are just a short 30 minute drive from the Blue Ridge mountains. It was a perfect day for apple picking--partly sunny, weather in the low 70's, and a slight breeze.
