I was delighted to find this large cluster flower this morning. Two weeks ago here I had seen many on the trees and bushes, but most had shriveled. While enjoying a cup of coffee I spied this one across the way illuminated by the early rising sun. With the sun to my back and from a low angle below the flower I got this shot. It does one's soul well to enjoy the beauty of nature and man's ingenuity and artistry in horticulture, but mainly to recognize the source for both. Last night I fell asleep reading Ladd's Theology in his section on the Fourth Gospel and Christology where he focused on the prologue of John, and thought the opening verses of it as I admired this flower:
"In the beginning was the Word...all things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made."
There is nothing new under the sun. As Nick, my friend at Holy Cross and retired professor of Physics pointed out two weeks ago, science discovers what God has created and may combine the elements in new ways but never creates those basic elements, only God
