Sorry it's been a few days. This weekend was pretty busy. At our student ministry's Christmas Party, we had over 65 students (34 in Sr. High)! See what happens when you bring your friends? And then, today, I had to work on my day off, my office was moved... yay... All a part of the fun.
But here's what I learned today. I saw "March Of The Penguins" (Will, you'll love it) and although it amazes me all the immensely fine details that God goes through with one small species, that they find their mate and they walk 70 miles to their spawning site because in summer, all the ice melts to within a few hundred yards of them, things like that, there was one thing that stood out to me. John 10 talks about how sheep hear the shepherd's voice and know him by that, I think we've all heard that analogy.
But here's the mind blowing part. With the penguins, the parents take turns getting food. The dad stays with the baby while the mom is gone for weeks getting food. Then it's dad's turn, but before he goes they talk, squawk at each other. Okay, no big deal, bird's squawking. While he's gone for food, mom leaves too! That's right, leaves the poor defenseless baby on its own. Then, a few days later, dad comes back with food for the baby. How does he find his child? The squawk! Dad can tell which baby penguin is his by their voice, and the baby knows the dad by his squawk. That's nuts!! But to think that we can know God that well, to know His voice amongst a billion penguins chirping? I want a faith like that :)
