[Faith-talk] Fw: An entry from my thoughts from my porch swing journal

[Penny Golden]

Well, I have now read the original and I know why I don't read blogs. 
This dear lady is waxing very poetical about what she loves in nature. 
And she may certainly do that. As the hymn says:
In the rustling grass
I hear Him pass
He speaks to me everywhere.
But we Christians know that the best way to hear The Lord Speak is 
through His Holy Word.
We can appreciate the loveliness of God's creation; but for knowing 
God's will and for learning what He has in store for us, the Holy Bible 
is the best.
Now I shall go back to my little corner.
Thanks for letting me put in my two cents' plain.
Penny
