Penguins

I saw March of the Penguins this week. It is absolutely gorgeous thanks to National Geographic and its freezing crew. I don't know when I have seen such a straight testimony to the creative abilities of God: These beautiful creatures who know at just the right time when to go to the mating grounds after swimming all over the ocean for three months. And when they get there, they meet thousands of others who have also had the call. These birds who swim have bodies created ideally for sheltering their young in that frigid atmosphere. These emperor penguins who swap out family duties so the other parent can go eat. And when the full parent returns, he/she knows where her mate and child are by voice in a din of thousands of other voices.

Thank you God for your creation and the creatures you put in it. Question? Where was Antartica when Adam and Eve were in the Garden?
