Earlier today, some of my family went for a walk following a riverbed where we must have seen at least 100 pudding-stones. My nephews and I love finding fossils etc. and pudding-stones seem to be a local speciality. There were some little tiny ones and some really huge ones three or four times the size of the biggest in the picture below, and we had a lot of fun finding them. They are rather heavy so we only brought a few back with us. One has crystal formations inside, and at least two had ammonites on the outside. We also had to pass through a small tunnel. The boys gave it the title: "Pudding-stone Paradise". We thoroughly enjoyed our time admiring God's Creation. It was quite exciting. :)

Genealogy of Genesis 5: Adam, Seth, Enosh, Cainan, Mahalalel, Jared, Enoch, Methuselah, Lamech, Noah. These men were given prophetic names. God put this together incredibly. Adam = Man,  Seth = Appointed,  Enosh =Mortal,  Cainan = Sorrow,  Mahalalel = the Blessed God,  Jared = shall come down,  Enoch = teaching,  Methuselah = his death shall bring,  Lamech = despairing,  Noah = comfort or rest. "Man, appointed Mortal Sorrow, but the Blessed God shall come down teaching His death shall bring the despairing comfort and rest." And if you take the first Hebrew letters of these names, you get three Hebrew words which mean: I will forgive my enemies, showing compassion. How amazing is that!!!

Pretty interesting I reckon. What do you think?

One of my birthday presents this year was a lovely little book called "The Loveliness of Christ" by Samuel Rutherford. Here is the first of probably many quotes from his letters. "There is as much in our Lord's pantry as will satisfy all his bairns, and as much wine in his cellar as will quench all their thirst. Hunger on; for there is meat in hunger for Christ; go never from him, but fash him (who yet is pleased with the importunity of hungry souls) with a dishful of hungry desires, till he fill you; and if he delay yet come not ye away, albeit ye should fall a-swoon at his feet." Of course that brings to mind Matthew 5:6; I like the way the KJV and the NASB put it: New American Standard Bible  "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied." King James Bible "Blessed  are  they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled." and when I looked that up, it linked to o...

I don't normally post Hillsong songs, but I heard this the other day and I rather like it, so here it is!!! I hope you enjoy it as much as I am doing!!
