Creator God, creative God

what a great day to be out driving around taking in the sights (except for the cost of gasoline...)! on our way up the river to pittsburgh, it was amazing to see all the brilliant colors... dogwoods - pink and white, the blazing yellow of forsythia, the bright purple of lilacs, azaleas beginning to bloom in various shades and other trees and shrubs i don't have the slightest idea of their names all in glorious brilliance...

oftentimes, i have wished that i was more artistic than i am... my eyes take in the sunset, but my box of crayons falls short of capturing it on paper... i see the vast african plains and wildlife, and my camera tells but a small bit of the story... so when i DO see someone who has more art skills than me, who CAN communicate some of the granduer, i am highly impressed and appreciative...

FAR greater, beyond the skill of the artist who can recreate the beauty of what is, is the skill of the Artist who created originally... who thought of the orange of sunsets and the fading of the blue into black of night, who spoke colors into existence in trees and flowers and shrubs, who uses a wider range than even the largest crayola box... HE is the one worthy of all praise, HE is the one to be awed at and worshiped - today i was reminded... praise You God for color!
