     A girl is mesmerized by a gorgeous sunset.

Image of Texas sunset (c) 2011, by Karla Dorman.

I don't understand something:  HOW in the world can people say that there is no God when all they have to do is look around them??

I mean, look at the animals: the dogs, the kitties, even the gross, nasty critters like bugs or spiders.  God made each and every one of them, from the very cute and beautiful to the lowliest, ugliest critters known to mankind. Each one has a specific place in God's world.

And tonight's sunset.  Brilliant hues of reds, oranges, pinks, and purples flashing in the last light of the setting sun.  Looked like the sky was on fire!!

It was one of the prettiest sunsets I have ever seen.  It reminded me of the northern lights, which I saw once when we went on vacation to see my aunt in Alaska.

Even the lightning is designed by God.  All of weather conditions are: from tornadoes and hurricanes, to the pouring rain, snowflakes falling peacefully to earth on a cold winter's day to the rainbow arcing across the skies after a storm.  God made each and every thing in nature.

Anyway, I was looking at the sunset tonight and I couldn't help but thank God for His creation.  Mankind couldn't make what God has created for us, His children, to enjoy.  They can try, but mankind will never come close!

I have a friend who doesn't believe in God.  She says she is an athiest (whatever that means).  She says that my religion is stupid and that there is no such thing as God.  I like my friend, but if she doesn't shut up soon, I am going to have to stop seeing her.  I don't like arguing with her, especially since I happen to know she is wrong!  Dead wrong!  

There's a verse in the Bible that clearly states,  "The fool says in his heart that there is no God" (Psalm 14:1).   There is most certainly a God!!  And the only TRUE God is the One who created every living thing upon this earth!

The things I have been describing is living proof of that!

I took lots of pictures of the sunset with my new camera that I got for Christmas.  I absolutely love it and the pictures came out great!!  

I will be uploading them when I get through writing.  I just had to tell you about it and why I can't help but praise God for the skills and talent in His Almighty Hands!!  Take care and may God bless you!!  And please look around you and say thank you, God,  for making everything! I do, every day!
