Here's hoping February has started well, that you will have a loving Valentine's Day from somebody you care about and that you enjoy my February offering, "Kaleidoscope."
It has always seemed to me that God gave us minds to use for His Glory -- but also to scratch the Divine itch He put there we call human curiosity. It seems to me, since God made us in His image, that He enjoys our scientific meanderings and the sometimes erroneous conclusions we come to on too little evidence. My own personal opinion is that all truth is God's truth and that science and faith will one day find themselves sitting together on the Universe's last great mountaintop, having gotten there by different routes but still having gotten there. I am slow to say that any new knowledge mankind gains is more than God wants us to know or more than we need to know, for I believe that God instills in the depths of our hearts the desire to reach higher and know more than we did yesterday. I fear the misuse of the two-edged sword that is knowledge, but trust that the God who allows us to play with matches does so in the sure and certain knowledge that His universe is fireproof.
Thank you for your time in reading my work. Please feel free to contact me at
lanoraanne@aol.com to tell me something about yourself.

KALEIDOSCOPE
The dawn excites a billion thoughts
of possibilities unwrought
to fuel the dreams of myriad hours
and stretch the scope of human powers
to reach, to climb, to seek, to find
to shatter barriers one more time
rewards the striving of mankind.
The stars are there for us to reach,
the castle walls for us to breach –
the laws of physics can be bent
by whomsoever God has sent;
and thus our reach exceeds our grasp
from here to there, from first to last,
as ever in our chequered past.
And Who, thinks you, put in our heads
the questing thirst that burns and spreads
abroad the length and breadth of time
such curiosity sublime?
Scientific progress, first to last
is God-inspired, to be surpassed
time and again by other minds
that God ordains in future time.
Think not that brakes have ever been
Implied, ordained or named as sin
for He delights in our design,
our ingenuity of mind,
our seeking hearts, tenacity
that breeds a brilliant potpourri.
For, after all, He made us thus
and Heaven’s Architect is just.
