COUGARS

Watch out for cougars.

Out in the woods there are God made cougars.

They are very dangerous.  Stay away from them.

Here is a man made Cougar, made by Ford motor

company.  I found it in the woods not far from the

house.  It looks like it could be dangerous too.

THUNDERBIRD'S NEST

I have heard about Thunderbirds all my life.

I finally found one nesting in the woods.

HERE'S PROOF

I live in the Ozarks.

God has allowed me to buy a little patch of woods

to go "hide" in when I need time out.

A short time back while there in the woods I sat down

and noticed this pretty little rock.  As I looked closely

at it, I realized that I had another fossil of a sea shell in 

my hand.  Thus far I have found more than a dozen 

fossils of sea shells in this patch of woods.  This 

particular fossil is only about 2" across.  It has the 

smallest shells I have found yet.  It is a cluster of about

 6 small shells.  Several still have fragments of the sea 

shell left in it to this day.

SO!

My topo map shows this property to be at an elevation

of 2000' above sea level.  And about 400 miles from

the closets sea.

How did these get into my woods?

"The flood continued for forty days,

and the water became deep enough

for the boat to float.  The water became

deeper, and the boat drifted on the surface.

it became so deep that it covered the 

highest mountain; it went on rising until

it was about twenty five feed above the

tops of the mountains."

(Genesis 7:17-20 TEV)

There you have it.  I have proof of it right here in the Ozarks.

SORRY.  Poor photographer.

Delaney creek

I know. I know.

I know. I should

have been blogging.

But instead have

been "POKING

AROUND."

Remember, Jesus

is our supreme

example. The

Scriptures tell us,

"But he withdrew

to the wilderness

and prayed."

-Luke 5:16 RSV

Even he had to get away from people and alone with God the father.

Can you think of something better to do? I have been longing to get away

from the insanity of people. So following the Lord's example is the best

way I know.

The woods above are the wilderness I chose to hide in. And as you can

see below, there is a neat little creek there. This is "Delaney creek". And

much to your surprise, it runs through Delaney, Arkansas.

David, a man "after God's own heart" said,

"He leads me beside still water;

he restores my soul."

-Psalms 23:2

That's great advice. Grab your Bible. Head for the closest stream -

that is not crowded with people . And spend some time with God.

It restores my soul. I don't want to come back to so called civilization.

This is the pack mule I used this time. It works fine. There is room in

the hard bags, not only for my Bible, but snacks, water and more.

The best things is life are not, noise, confusion, working hard so

you can buy more things to take care of. Nor working you tail

off to impress your neighbors. Spending time with God will do

a lot more for you now and in the forever to come.
