Lincoln and 'What God Did!'



The last few days have been doctor days. Today was the day we get admitted to the hospital so we can receive our Tysabri infusions, while sitting in adjacent easy chairs. It takes a couple of hours or so. We get to order a meal. It's our MS date.

So, I'm tired.

Lincoln, for a kid who grew up in Illinois, was the most special president of all. His birthday was the one we always got off from school. We were taught that the Civil War was fought for freeing the slaves. I was astonished, while living in Biloxi, that a common belief among southerners was that it was only about states rights. They didn't seem to hold President Abraham Lincoln with the same high esteem as I was taught as a child.

God spoke to us throughout the eons by means of the prophets and those charged with putting words to paper. I can't help but believe He is also speaking to us through science. It's where He reveals the beauty of His creation. It's a book, filling the learned halls, revealed to us through slowly turned pages illustrating the Master Weaver He really is rather than a, 'snap of the fingers, wave of the wand', magician.

It follows the rules of it's Method religiously, filling that tome, one paragraph, sentence, phrase or word at a time. Science must be left to be science or it will cease to be science at all. I can't help but wonder, when it is all said and done, if they will be looking at the face of the Lord exclaiming, "God does exist!", then, a little later, the race to proclaim, "my theory is proved!"
