Amazing Creation   

   A canary hatches eggs in 14 days. A barnyard hen in 21 days. Ducks and geese in 28 days. Mallards in 35 days. Parrots and the ostrich hatch in 42 days. Get it? 

   We saw these numbers a few years ago. They came around again, so we share them today.

   The four legs of an elephant bend forward in the same direction, enabling the huge animal to rise from the ground. No other quadruped is so designed. A horse rises first on its two front legs. A cow rises first with its two hind legs. 

   Each watermelon has an even number of stripes on the rind. Each orange has an even number of segments. Each ear of corn has an even number of rows. 

   Stalks of wheat have an even number of grains. Every bunch of bananas has an even number on its lowest row.   

   The waves of the sea roll on shore 26 to the minute in all kinds of weather. We'll try to remember this, next trip to the beach.

   Flowers blossom at specified times during the day. Botanist Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778) said that if he had a conservatory with the right kind of soil, moisture and temperature, he could tell the time of day by the flowers that were open and those that were closed.  

   Think God might be sending a message, especially to unbelieving scientists? 

   Our lives may be ordered by the Lord for his glory, if we trust him. He who made our incredible hearts and brains deserves our even, not odd, attention.
