“One of the things I find fascinating about God's creation is the way he seems to temper the negative environmental elements with corresponding positive ones. For instance, without the nearly ceaseless rains of the northwest, no incomparable green scenery would greet the eye from all directions. And the snow that snuggles atop Mt. Hood, Mt. Rainier, and Mt. St. Helens would not exist if, at lower elevations, there were no rain. . . . God's creative style ensures that something wonderful will offset something less than wonderful. In everything God seems to be balanced.” IfsWaySeemsEyeCreativeWonderfulStyleCreationBalanceElementsRainNegativeGreenEnvironmentalSnowInstanceFascinatingTemperBalancedHoodSceneryElevationCorrespondingIncomparableGod's Creation Author:Marilyn Meberg
