Many believe first came a Big Bang---but could it be that this explosion created the sun, moon, the planets and all of the stars?
Next the sky was seperated form the existing waters or abyss and the land masses that were found on planet earth. From these "molecules" then over 400,000 species of plants and trees came into existence. All of these are unique and one of a kind and reproduce the same plants or trees --over and over always the same!!
Then came the species of at least 9 million of birds, mammels, sea creatures: that again, keep reproducing the same bird, mammel, or sea creature over and over--never deviating from their original design that enables them to exist on this earth.
Finally, according to super 'intelligent' scientist---mankind evolved from apes they think. Very interesting that the species of mankind ---unique and perfectly designed to live and survive--- kept reproducing the same being over and over again. A species that was given intelligence and ability to design and create themselves. Just look at all the inventions that came into being since that "big bang from which molecules, elements start to form new shapes and, ahem, all the millions of species that still exist --unique and never changing with time.
So, tell me again now, how all the 9 million different species came into being and stay the same after all these years---this just happened with a Big Bang? Are you sure this is truth? Too many flaws in this theory for my brain.
I believe without a doubt, that a Supreme Being, with His perfect plan brought all into existance by His perfect design. Every stage of creation had to be so the next stage of life could exist and live in this perfect Paradise on earth. A Perfect Paradise until ---well you know the rest of the story of Life here on earth. Seems that mankind was too smart for our own good.
Born the youngest of nine children, raised VERY Catholic across the street from Immaculate Heart of Mary church and school—Mom and Dad led by example and word their FAITH in God and saw to it that I was given 12 years of Catholic Education. (Mount St. Mary’s Academy/1965)
But, most importantly, because of my parents’ spiritual renewal after attending Cursillo Weekends, I too went on a retreat at our beloved Subiaco Abbey in Arkansas and there, at age 20, gave my life totally, surrendering all to my Lord and best Friend. This was my “Pentecostal” event that left me, like all the early Christians, on fire with God’s love and forever changed.
My husband Robert and I have been married for 54 this year in a marriage arranged by God. We have 8 children, two in heaven, 24 grandchildren, and 28 great-grandchildren. The story of our life together can be found in a book titled “My Journey, My Cross-As the Journals End,” published by Westbow Press . Our life together has been one awesome up and down roller coaster ride which enriched my heart with so many of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. I have found that the only way, Wisdom, Understanding, Words of Knowledge, Discernment, and Healing can be received is first by experiencing in your life the hurts of others. (and you yourself a sword will pierce)* so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.” Luke 2 v 35.
God has blessed me also many other talents and skills--but sometimes, blessings/gifts can and have caused problems or conflict in my life, as I am human and all too quickly that part of me shows up. Thank You God that You also show up!
Because of the many ways that He has rescued me, and taught me through my trials and tribulations and continuous cries for “Help”--- a weekly podcast radio show called “It’s Me, God” can still be found on www.radiotitans.com
