i was just thinking the other day and i realized how much i love the earth. not that cheesy "love your mother" picture of cartoon earth tshirts, but a genuine love for how amazing the earth is. i am baffled by the extraordinary variety of culture, people, plants, mountains, oceans, and animals in the world. how completey amazing! and to think it is only a shadow of what it should have been and what it will be when God comes in and cleans up everything for good. how completely fantastic and (dare i use my favorite word) marvelous! i LOVE the earth! truly truly, i love it!
