I am currently reading "Seeing and Savoring Jesus Christ" by John Piper. In the chapter titled "The Waves and Winds Still Know His Voice" Piper expresses the relationship of God with the earth and all its parts. I was moved by this chapter due to the recent tsunami event in Asia. It really spoke to me. God is completely in control of the earth and what happens with nature...eventhough we may not understand it. Here is a poem from the chapter that Piper wrote...it really moved me and I hope it speaks to you...
God strolled the beach---
Our legs and faces could not bear the piercing, blasting sand.
God stepped ashore---
Palms waved, scattering branches in his path.
God strode inland---
Magnolias, pines, and oaks
Who'd stretched one hundred years toward God,
Fell to the ground before him.
God stood and breathed---
While we--in dark, closed closet--
Feared to face his glory.

Pamela darling,
I hope you have a great time in Germany. You are on my heart today, so I thought I'd let you know. I pray safe travels for you. I pray that God sends my prayers across the big ocean and calms your fears. Please know that you are on my heart, and in my constant prayers.
