Just me trying to be honest with God.

There is a violin in the heart of every human that God plays when we behold His hand in nature.

“Their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world.” Ps. 19 ESV



That sense of majesty that people universally experience when they see something like the Grand Canyon, at least from a Christian point of view, is possible because people are uniquely made in the image of God. Robert Frost alluded to this human quality in his famous poem “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening.” He notes that the man stopped only to watch the woods fill up with snow and remarks that the horse thought “it queer to stop without a farmhouse near .” Who but a man made in the Image would stop to watch woods fill up with snow? People seem to hear a music unrelated to sex, or shelter or food or protection that animals do not hear. How else do we explain our interest in music or art or beauty when these things have nothing whatsoever to do with survival. 7/31/2011 Conversations Within ts (On the road to Zion)
