“Fostering relationships with nature,” is the article in the paper called. (Northern Advocate, Friday, February 12, 2016)
Reading that I am wide awake and I am going to tell you why.
The Collins Concise Dictionary tells me this about nature:
There is the physical life that is controlled by man, and there is the physical life that is not controlled by man. I am learning that the whole system of existence, forces, and events of all physical life that is not controlled by man is called Nature. Plant and animal life is also called Nature.
Yes, I am all for “fostering relationships with nature,” but I am more for fostering a relationship with the creator of nature.
What does it say in the first book of the Bible at the beginning? There we read, “IN THE BEGINNING GOD CREATED THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH.”
