All Things Beautiful #3 – Ken Williams

"Life Finds a Way; Life is the Way” Ken Williams In one scene from the movie Jurassic Park, Dr. Ian Malcolm, a mathematician specializing in chaos theory, was surprised to learn scientists were cloning dinosaurs from blood DNA preserved in fossilized mosquitos. He warned that they had opened the door to enormous power with uncertain consequences. He told the cloners that they were naïve if they thought they could control this extinct animal population, extinct for good reasons. They shared that they were reproducing females alone, controlling their reproduction. Dr. Malcolm’s deep respect for life’s power, reasoned that humans cannot ...

Hinds’ Feet by Stuart Segall

Life has never been a straight road for me.

Meandering in Our Journey by Bermie Dizon

There’s a common perception that a straight path is the only way forward, that if we aren’t moving directly toward our goals, we must be lost. But life doesn’t always follow a straight line. Sometimes, we find ourselves meandering—taking detours, exploring new paths, and pausing along the way. In these moments, it’s easy to feel like we’re off course, like we’ve lost our way. But what if these meanderings are not signs of being lost, but rather opportunities to listen, meditate, and enjoy God’s creation? Now that I’m retired, I’ve found more time to take walks. When I walk, I intentionally decide not to have a fixed ...
