        Issue #: 2   
      
        In the last issue, we went over the first four days of God's   
        creation.  The first day He created light out of nothing.  This is   
        one of His finest creation.  Without it, there is no real beauty,   
        just total darkness.  Nothing can hide in His Light and everything   
        will be exposed.  So keep on pressing on to total goodness!  During   
        the second day of His creation, he created water with a seperation.   
        This seperation we know as clouds and a mass of water which well   
        come to in a little bit.  Have you ever wondered how the sky is blue   
        and our ocean is so lovely with a good look upon it?  If only all of   
        our water was so pure!  We're still missing something.  The Earth,   
        our mother which we step out onto every day.  The third day He   
        created the Earth, dirt, grass, seed, trees and everything in   
        between.  Finally, we have seperation in seasons, our wonderful   
        spring, summer, fall and winter!  From the Light he had created, He   
        made the moon and stars to watch over the night.   
      
        We'll continue where we last off last time.  Open your Bible up to   
        Genesis chapter 1, verse 20.  Remember, we're reading from the King   
        James Version.  Your text may different between versions.  Lets   
        read...   
      
        [KJV] Gen 1:20  And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly   
                        the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that   
                        may fly above the earth in the open firmament of   
                        heaven.    
        [KJV] Gen 1:21  And God created great whales, and every living   
                        creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth   
                        abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl   
                        after his kind: and God saw that it was good.   
      
        [KJV] Gen 1:22  And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and   
                        multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let   
                        fowl multiply in the earth.   
        
        [KJV] Gen 1:23  And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.   
      
        [KJV] Gen 1:24  And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living   
                        creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing,   
                        and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.   
      
        [KJV] Gen 1:25  And God made the beast of the earth after his kind,   
                        and cattle after their kind, and every thing that   
                        creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw   
                        that it was good.   
       
        [KJV] Gen 1:26  And God said, Let us make man in our image, after   
                        our likeness: and let them have dominion over the   
                        fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and   
                        over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over   
                        every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.    
      
        ...here we have it.  All the wonderful from rabbits, squirrels,   
        birds, butterflies to eagles, cats, dogs to cows, horses to sharks   
        and dolphins!  God has quite an imagination, doesn't He?  These    
        living creatures could have never been made by mistake.  There's   
        still missing besides all Light, darkness, Heaven and Earth...   
      
        [KJV] Gen 1:27  So God created man in his own image, in the image of   
                        God created he him; male and female created he them.    
       
        [KJV] Gen 1:28  And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be   
                        fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and   
                        subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the   
                        sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every   
                        living thing that moveth upon the earth.    
      
        [KJV] Gen 1:29  And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb   
                        bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the   
                        earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of   
                        a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.    
      
        [KJV] Gen 1:30  And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl   
                        of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon   
                        the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every   
                        green herb for meat: and it was so.    
      
        [KJV] Gen 1:31  And God saw every thing that he had made, and,   
                        behold, it was very good. And the evening and the   
                        morning were the sixth day.   
      
        ...the creatures could have made all the Earth theres, but this is   
        where you and I come in.  God created man and woman!  What an idea   
        God had when He created everything before He created us.  These   
        creatures for food and enjoyment, additional food from the fruit of   
        of the trees and from the ground.  We were put here to be in charge   
        of our mother Earth.  Not only were were created, but we were   
        created in His image.  Every aspect of Him do we have!  We are all   
        members of one body, His body.  How do our arms work without our   
        muscles, or our feet without our legs, our heart without our brain?   
      
        Think about God's creation as we end this time.   
      
        If you've enjoyed our meeting, remember to ask your SysOp to carry   
        MINISTER, an echo with FidoNet if he/she doesn't already.  Remember   
        also to keep your head up high.  May God bless you and keep you!
