LEO, familia yetu ilisimama juu ya Mungu chisel.
Sisi tisa tulichukuliwa juu ya Athabasca Glacier huko Kanada. Ilikuwa surreal tuliposimama kwenye barafu kwa kina kirefu kama mnara wa Eiffel ulivyo juu. Ninasema "chisel", kwa sababu inaonekana barafu ndizo zilichonga mandhari ya dunia kama tunavyoijua.
Mtu angeweza kuhisi nguvu za kutisha, na ngumu za Mungu. Barafu hii hutiririka ndani ya bahari tatu. Inatuma mito ya maji kwenye mito mikubwa ambayo sio tu inaleta maji safi kwa mamilioni ya watu, lakini inalisha vituo vya maji vinavyoleta nguvu katika miji mikubwa ya Amerika Kaskazini. Na huwavuta watu kutoka ulimwenguni pote kutazama kwa mshangao nguvu za asili.
Lakini nashangaa… kuna mtu yeyote aliyesikia barafu ikizungumza? Kama sehemu nyingi za asili leo, barafu hii pia inakabiliwa na "kiwewe" inapoyeyuka kwa haraka ... pamoja na mafuriko makubwa, vimbunga vikali, matetemeko ya ardhi yenye nguvu, tsunami, na mawimbi ya joto hatari yanayopiga dunia. Na barafu hii, pamoja na maumbile yote yalisema nini hasa?
Ever since the creation of the world, his invisible attributes of eternal power and divinity have been able to be understood and perceived in what he has made. As a result, they have no excuse...(Warumi 1:20)
Kukana kuwako kwa Mungu, kunakoonekana katika wingi wa miujiza isiyo ya kawaida, kuonekana kwa malaika, na zaidi ya yote, katika hekima ya asili, si akili wala mantiki. Paulo anaendelea kusema katika mstari wa 21-23.
...for although they knew God they did not accord him glory as God or give him thanks. Instead, they became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless minds were darkened. While claiming to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for the likeness of an image of mortal man or of birds or of four-legged animals or of snakes.
