When I was a kid my parents thought of a way to get us outdoors and entertained. At first their plan seemed like a win-win: kids outside and some time to spend alone without us kids in the way. The plan was:” Go out and see if you can find a four leaf clover. If you do, I will give you a nickle for everyone you find. “ Sounded great to us (back then you could buy a lot of candy for a nickle). The thing was, it didn’t take us that long to find four leaf clovers. Pretty soon we were making a lot of money. We were finding more than they could ever imagine.
We also heard many people say, finding a four leaf clover would bring us good luck. Of course, in our childlike innocence we thought that was entirely possible, since we were making a profit from finding them. As we took time to consider the concept of “good luck”, over time we came to realize that finding four leaf clovers and having good luck was merely a myth. Reading God’s Word, we found out that the “rain falls on the just as well as the unjust”. The real deal was God’s providence.
While watching the presentation below, think about what that means. It’s not luck, it’s God’s providence.

When walking along the creek and ditches in Idaho I came across these amazing insects. They are so beautiful glistening in the sun. As I researched to find out more about them and watched them for quite some time I learned a lot. I hope you enjoy learning about them too. While reading, consider how they came to have all of these behaviors and characteristics. Looks like design to me. How about you?

One day at school, the high school Biology teacher came over and said, “Do you want some frogs for your Creature Feature?” Apparently he had purchased frogs for dissection and they were supposed to be dead and preserved. I decided it would be fun to learn more about the Leopard Frogs and watch how they behaved compared to the Bullfrogs I was most familiar. There were a lot of fun things to learn. In this presentation I will share a few of the things I learned and show you several pictures of these unique creations.
Just came back from fishing in the creek. Caught a limit of trout (7) in 45 minutes. I was in the right spot at the right time. Just after I arrived and claimed my spot on the shore, in rode the fish and game truck. The officer on the bank told me that they had placed 350 trout in the creek in this planting. Worms seemed to do the trick. Only lost one due to slippy skin. Right after this loss I caught a replacement and that made a limit.
What a beautiful fish species. They have so much color when they first emerge from the water. God used a great color pallet when designing the trout. One of the best tasting fish, it is also easy to clean. All you do is cut a slit up the belly from the vent to the head. Cut off the head and pull out the guts. After this, run your finger inside the body cavity up along the inside of the backbone to remove the blood line there. Rinse out the inside and outside of the fish and you have a fish ready to cook. Some people like to leave the head on to make the fish look bigger. Either way, the fish will taste good fried up.
Check out the planting schedules from the Department of Fish and Game in your area. Prepare all the gear ahead of time including bait. Find out which baits work best in your locale by asking other fishermen on the bank or just watch and see what they are using.
One of my favorite hobbies is hunting for mushrooms. I developed this interest while taking a field biology class when teaching in Redwood Valley, Ca. Though mushrooms can be very tasty, I do not recommend that you eat them unless you know for sure what they are. This usually requires an expert who has harvested them before. Even if you don’t eat them, mushrooms can be very interesting and are an important part of the environment. They help us in many ways. Some, however, can be harmful. Why not do some research and find out more about these amazing creations of God?
