The Melt Factor

Today we woke up to a melting zone. The long awaited moment of Home Plate reappearing in the backyard finally happened today!

As you can see, we wore out the grass around home plate in the Summer & Fall. And yes, we did have a couple Winter baseball games which were only as few innings long. I love the fact that we just found one of the missing balls right next to home plate!

We also discovered that a bunny has been living under our shed (top right) this winter. I wish I had gotten the tracks in the snow on camera to prove it, but you'll just have to trust me on this one. It is just amazing to watch the world transform before our eyes and to see how true the bible is when it says in Romans 1:20 "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse" Don't we all run and find a warm spot to hide in when the cold winds of life blow just like the bunny under our shed?! When I see the wonder of creation, and as I sit each morning and look out at this awesome world that God has made for us to enjoy I agree with David in Psalms 19:1 "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork." What an awesome God! Thank you Jesus, for revealing Yourself to us through your creation so that all are without excuse!

In case you are not aware, all my boys have Bronx blood flowing through the veins and though their father tries with all that is in him to brainwash them into being Red Sox fans, it is in the blood, nothing can be done. The only reason Matt is wearing the Sox hat in the picture is to show the interesting dynamic in our family. After all, what true Yankee fan would marry a Red Sox fan? When Micah came of age, he asked me just that. For once, I was speechless.

Ok so it is official, Spring Training is underway and Micah is the man when it comes to keeping up with the YANKEES and though this does not have much to do with Science, the fact of the matter is the sound of SPRING training does make it apply! The snow is melting and soon our baseball field in the backyard will appear again!

As we are learning about Creation, come and join us as we observe how "ordinary" things in our yard change. They go from death to life just as we can when we become new creatures in Christ.

Creation sure does tell the story of the gospel of Jesus Christ! As we study Science, we validate our faith and we stand in awe of how wonderfully specific our God is!

Micah and Nate each chose three areas or things that they will be observing over the next several months. Here is what they look like now...















Micah's first choice to observe is our crabapple tree in our backyard. This is a favorite in the Spring. Grandma & Gramp planted it and love to watch it as well!

This one will be so awesome to watch! This is our vegetable garden! doesn't look like much now!! Wait 'til August!














Micah's last choice is the grass in our front yard.




This is the biggest tree in our yard and Nate wants to keep track of the changes with it!








This will be fun to watch our corner garden come to life!

Nate also chose to watch the holly plant in our front garden.

And this is Matt. He's comin along for the ride!

We are homeschooled brothers who are watching how God's creation comes back to life through Spring, grows and produces fruit in Summer. Micah and Nate chose 3 things in our yard that we will be watching as they change over the next several months.
