When the Lumberjack Came Back

So here's what happened in the days that followed that first tree-felling episode. To begin, I took a photo of a broad view of our tree-line with the one tree down, right in the middle of the photo. On the second day they took down the two trees I will focus my next photos on, not ignoring the fact that later the tree on the very right came down as well. Basically, four large trees closest to us in our view.

The third tree was a goner, with the fourth following suit. At this point I am happy to say that they seem to be done, although road construction is continuing.

In Ecclesiastes 3: 2 we read that there is a time to plant and a time to uproot.

Whether it is technology or life in general, I tend to fight change

and I try to remember that there is One who remains steady.

Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever.

(Hebrews 13:8)

"The same in what?"  I ask myself.

He is sovereign,

all wise,

trustworthy,

desiring our best,

loving us,

full of mercy,

forgiving,

faithful to keep His promises

forever.

In a world of change, it's good to know

"As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat,

summer and winter, day and night will never cease."

Genesis 8:22
