I woke up this morning thinking about all of the natural disasters going on in our world.
Starting at home from the fires that's eating up California, to the hurricanes on our 3 coasts. Tornadoes and floods in the mid west. Let's not forget tsunamis and earthquakes in Asia, severe drought and famine in Africa. I woke up thinking this surely is God's way of purging the earth. We've abused and used it for too long. It's natures way, really. Ironically enough I find out that today is World Population Day in which we have reached an unprecedented 6.7 billion people. And continues to grow 80 million people each year. What shall befall us next? One thing is for sure, the earth will continue to crack and swallow us. The sky will continue to blow and suck us up. The waters will continue to wash us away. The fires will continue to consume us or, will the selfishness of one country demand our fate?

About the natural disasters, it really surprises how many people say "God is punishing us" . Earth knows what she has to do to bring masses of water to dry areas with hurricanes, spread seeds thousands of miles with a force of wind, use bolts of lighting to keep under brush cleared out and shift the plates of the earth to bring up new earth and take the old worn out earth down to sea to renew. We just happen to place ourselves in the areas of risk because where Gods hand works the landscape is stunningly beautiful. We choose to take the risk therefore we need to take the responsibility for not getting out of the way of Mother Nature. We could live in a plan brown bag place where nothing ever happens but how boring that would be.
