Good Thoughts on an Easter Sunday
Waiting for Mass to begin, Lee and I noticed the number of young mothers carrying their precious babies or walking with their beautiful children, all decked out in their Easter finery. One sweetie was dressed just like her mom and like the doll in her arms. It seemed like an explosion of babies and goodness here in Palos Verdes.
If ever I'm in doubt of the presence of our Lord, one look at those babies is all that I'll need.
I'm glad to be among the 86% of Americans who have faith in God. I feel sorry for the others and especially for the scientists who may have seen the face of God in their work yet deny His existence. How can one ponder the Big Bang birth of the universe, or the creation and complexity of life, or the wonder of the human intellect without appreciating the Creator who made it all posible?
Genesis 1:1 begins with the Hebrew word Be'reasheet which literally means "first wisdom." Thus in the 2100 year old Jerusalem translation Genesis begins "With wisdom God created the heavens and the earth." (The King James version changed it to "In the beginning ...."). And in Ps. 104:24 "How manifold are Your works, Eternal, You made them all with wisdom."
Wisdom is the fundamental building block of the universe. "It is the hidden face of God."

I was at the hospital this morning and we didn't realize it was easter, until someone was like "Happy Easter!". The decorations are really cute, and yes there were a lot of babies going home today!
Happy Easter and many thanks for the reminder.
God ain't over the hill, He's
right there in front :-)
We hope to see you soon.

Greetings Bill, and once again thank you for including me in your messages; this one is great, as they all are.
Regarding scientists, I seem to recall hearing that scientists actually are more religious than the population at large, and the reason that was cited was specifically what you wrote: they have seen things that only God could possibly achieve. The other reason I recall hearing about is that for all their knowledge and all their experiments, there is still that little spark, that little something that cannot be explained by anything other than God. I’d be curious to see if this is still true, if it was when I read about it.
Have a great day.
Your friend,
Dave
This reminds me of some of the early Greeks who believed that all things came out of the "nous", which translates very loosely as "mind". From the one mind all else came.
Have a very happy Easter my friend.
