The Last Blog
In May of 2009 Rob Sheppard and I decided to launch a blog called “Seeing Creation.” The purpose of the blog was to give us an opportunity to share our love for nature and photography, and the spiritual connection we felt with both of these, with others. Today’s post marks the 733rd entry for the Seeing Creation site. It will also be the last. Rob felt the need to move on to other endeavors a number of years ago and I have carried on solo since then. I feel it is now time to bring this project to a close. I hope to share more posts from time to time on my personal Facebook page but will no longer maintain this site. I want to thank all of you who supported and read our Seeing Creation posts over the years. I also want to thank the editors who chose to share a number of my posts on their own social media sites. Finally, I want to thank Rob for encouraging me to pursue this dream with him long ago.
I would like to wrap things up by encouraging you to continue to explore the spiritual connection that can be found in nature. I remain as convinced as ever that the God who created the world is still revealing Himself through nature for those with eyes to see and ears to hear. I also remain as convinced as ever that we are all called to be good stewards of God’s Creation. There is a divine imperative for us to love, protect, preserve and care for this sacred earth and all its inhabitants. I feel that so many of our current problems are related to humankind’s failure to respond appropriately to this divine imperative. We can and must do better. And we will if we truly love God.
Thanks again for the support you gave Rob and I over the years. As you continue your journey through life may the Maker of heaven and earth open your eyes and heart to see the wonders of God’s love all around you in Creation. “O taste and see that the Lord is good.” (Psalm 34:8)
Blessings!
