Order out of chaos

Most of the flower picture I have posted are from Brackenhurst. This is a remarkable facility, and the management has done a great job with it. By the way, Brackenhurst is managed by missionaries with the IMB. So, I have been enjoying SBC resources while I am here. It is amazing how once you leave Texas the Baptist politics seem to wane. Most people out here are concerned about evangelism and building healthy churches.

So, after going on my safari (which I will mention soon), I noticed that the variety of flowers is almost zero. This is also true in the wilds of the Kenyan landscape. There are beautifully manicured gardens, tea plantations (tea heaven here, by the way), and grassy areas. And then there are the wild groves of trees, water, and various animals and insects. It is amazing what can be done with the proper amount of care and supervision. The creativity that God has placed in each one of us with the command "Go and have dominion" in Genesis. There are some places in Kenya which beautifully show what people can do with God's creation.

And I am still reminded to pray for humanity when I look at the chaos that we bring upon ourselves in Somalia, Sudan, and elsewhere.

Pray for peace and order. It begins by obeying God's command--beginning with faith in his plan for salvation, Jesus Christ.
