“On the third day the friends of Christ coming at daybreak to the place found the grave empty and the stone rolled away. In varying ways they realized the new wonder; but even they hardly realized that the world had died in the night. What they were looking at was the first day of a new creation, with a new heaven and a new earth; and in a semblance of the gardener God walked again in the garden, in the cool not of the evening but of the dawn.” WorldWayFirstsEarthNightFoundHeavenChristWonderCreationGardenStonesEmptyThirdsDiedGravesEveningDawnGardenerSemblanceNew EarthDaybreak Author:Gilbert K.

“In these respects we differ from the Christian world, for our religion will not clash with or contradict the facts of science in any particular... whether the Lord found the earth empty and void, whether he made it out of nothing or out of the rude elements; or whether he made it in six days or in as many millions of years, is and will remain a matter of speculation in the minds of men unless he give revelation on the subject. If we understood the process of creation there would be no mystery about it, it would be all reasonable and plain, for there is no mystery except to the ignorant.” IfsMenWorldGivingYearsMindMadeMatterFactsWould BeEarthChristianFoundProcessLordMillionsMysterySubjectsCreationParticularElementsSixUnderstoodEmptyIgnorantMade ItRevelationsReasonableVoidRudeSpeculationClash Author:Brigham Young

“We are here to witness the creation and to abet it. We are here to notice each thing so each thing gets noticed. Together we notice not only each mountain shadow and each stone on the beach but, especially, we notice the beautiful faces and complex natures of each other. We are here to bring to consciousness the beauty and power that are around us and to praise the people who are here with us. We witness our generation and our times. We watch the weather. Otherwise, creation would be playing to an empty house.” PeopleWould BeTogetherBeautifulFacesHouseConsciousnessWatchesGenerationsCreationMountainShadowStonesEmptyPraiseAgingComplexesWeatherWitnessBeachOur TimeOur GenerationBeautiful FaceEmpty HousesAbet Author:Annie Dillard
“When you can dump a load of bricks on a corner lot, and let me watch them arrange themselves into a house - when you can empty a handful of springs and wheels and screws on my desk, and let me see them gather themselves together into a watch - it will be easier for me to believe that all these thousands of worlds could have been created, balanced, and set to moving in their separate orbits, all without any directing intelligence at all.” WorldBelieveHas BeensTogetherMovingScienceHouseWatchesCreationBalanceEasierSpringEmptyLet MeCornersEaseWheelsBalancedLoadDesksScrewsBricksCould Have BeenHandfulDumpOrbitMoving In Author:Bruce Barton

“There is an old cliche, 'You can see the glass half empty, or you can see it half full.' You can focus on what's wrong in your life, or you can focus on what's right. But whatever you focus on, you're going to get more of. Creation is an extension of thought. Think lack, and you get lack. Think abundance, and you get more.” ThinkingHalfFocusCreationEmptyGlassesAbundanceExtensionsClicheHalf FullHalf Empty Author:Marianne Williamson
