Thoughts

One thing nice about being out of school is that I have time to think. Not so much because I actually have a lot of spare time- I think I had more in college... but because I spend a ton of time commuting. I think I spend about 2.5-3 hours on the road each day, which means lots of time to talk to my dad, think, and listen to music. All the good things! (as one of my college friends would say). I get to see the sun rise every morning- which is my absolute favorite time of day. It's just those few minutes when the sun is just starting to peek over the edge of the horizon that make everything so special. The clouds are still light and puffy, and adding a whole spectrum of colors just makes them look so pretty. I really wish I could take good pictures of those sunrises from the car, but since that's not possible, I just try to remember as many as I can. I'm glad that God made sunrises beautiful and that He also gave us the capacity to enjoy beauty.

One thing I was thinking about on my way home today was what the world would be like if God was not good. We humans haven't come up with any good on our own. Could you imagine a world where everyone and everything was completely and thoroughly evil? I can't imagine it. And yet, all the good that I take for granted in this world would never have been and would never be if God, who is over all things, and who has created all things, was not good. That our God is a good and just God is something that I am definitely thankful for. And upon more thought, something that I should probably acknowledge more often as well.
