When I walk around this campus I cant help but to think we could totally do our little field trip right here! I mean, this place is one big jungle. Take away the buildings and I’ll be in Jurassic Park. How’s that for nature? Anyways, the other day in class we talked more about nature and nature poetry. We read some scriptures from the Bible that pertained to nature as well. One of them was the end of Matthew chapter 6. We read “Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin..” Now, when I first read this I knew what the context was. Jesus was telling his disciples no to worry about food or clothing, and that if God can take care of nature, then he can certainly take care of us. I am not sure if I would apply that to nature poetry, but this verse helped me realize that Jesus took the time to admire his Fathers creation. Another verse that we read cam from the book of psalms. Psalm 19:1: “The heavens declare the glory of God;
 the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” One thing I like about this verse is that there is another verse in the New Testament that says all of creation is proof that God exists. So when I read, “the skies proclaim the work of His hands”, it reminded me that creation itself is the simple proof of God’s omnipresence. We also read psalm 139, which was my favorite out of all of them. The chapter talks about God’s omnipresence and complex goodness.  A couple of years ago I went to Peru for a mission’s trip. We stayed about two hours outside of Cusco up in the mountains. That trip caused me to look at nature in whole different way. I was awesome because I got a new glimpse of God’s glory.
