Romans 1:20 poster by Martin LaBar

Romans 1:20 poster

This is an attempt to illustrate Romans 1:20b, a verse that indicates that nature, "the things that have been made," is one of the ways that God reveals Himself to us.

Other means of revelation include the activity of the Holy Spirit, the Bible, our conscience, the church, and, most importantly, Christ, Himself.

I have argued, here, on my blog, that this verse, and the truth behind it, are a powerful reason that Christians should try to keep the environment in as good a condition as possible.

The original photo is here.

This poster, or graphic, uses the English Standard Version of the Bible, which, although copyrighted, allows such use. See here for copyright information. I thank the publishers of the ESV.

Small orange morning glory flowers by Martin LaBar

Small orange morning glory flowers

This flower seems to be a member of the morning glory (Convulvulaceae) family. It was growing along US 80, a few miles/kilometers from Savannah, Georgia. The shot was taken in the morning. The flowers were perhaps an inch/3 cm across. I like the buds in this photo, too.

Amanita mushroom, not fully opened, with waterdrops, flash, otherwise unretouched by Martin LaBar

Amanita mushroom, not fully opened, with waterdrops, flash, otherwise unretouched

This mushroom opened up all the way, later. It was about a decimeter/3 inches tall here, and growing along the road that runs by our house. Thank God for the rain that caused this organism to put up this reproductive body. We needed it badly at the time.

I think that the larger sizes are spectacular.

Fothergilla leaf, unretouched by Martin LaBar

Fothergilla leaf, unretouched

I don't usually put up photos shortly after taking them, but this is one that I took yesterday. This Fothergilla leaf is just the way the camera took it. It's from the bush in our yard, which is about 2 yards/meters tall. Fothergilla is both the common and scientific name.

Isn't God a great artist?

Hiatus over: Grandson number one and Belle, from Beauty and the Beast, in Walt Disney World by Martin LaBar

Hiatus over: Grandson number one and Belle, from Beauty and the Beast, in Walt Disney World

The recent hiatus was longer than I anticipated. We went to Florida to meet some of our family, including Mr. Cheerful Perpetual Chatter, who had a birthday while we were there. (He's now five years old.) He and his brother enjoyed Walt Disney World a lot (and we enjoyed watching them enjoy it).

I didn't anticipate the death and burial of my 99 year old mother, which also occupied a chunk of our October, and part of November.

Here he got to say a lot to Belle. I don't know what he was saying.
