          Have you 
          ever thought about the details of creation?  The organization that God 
          used, to make everything work together. Take some time and think about 
          how incredibly organized God is.
          
           
          I was 
          looking at a leaf a while back. This little seemingly insignificant 
          green thing has a very important job to do. If you look closely you 
          can see the veins running through it. Then you noticed the color. I 
          asked myself, why does it change colors when it is separated from the 
          branch it came from? I also wondered why the bottom is a different 
          shade from the top. Now I want to give you the official Wikipedia 
          definition of a leaf.
          
           
          "A leaf is 
          an above-ground plant organ specialized for photosynthesis. For this 
          purpose, a leaf is typically flat (laminar) and thin, to expose the 
          chloroplast containing cells (chlorenchyma tissue) to light over a 
          broad area, and to allow light to penetrate fully into the tissues. 
          Leaves are also the sites in most plants where respiration, 
          transpiration, and guttation take place. Leaves can store food and 
          water, and are modified in some plants for other purposes". 
           
                     
          Whew that's a mouthful 
                            
          So here is Dave's definition of a leaf.  
           A 
          leaf is an organism that has the ability to produce natural sugar from 
          sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water with oxygen as its waste product. 
          The natural sugar is food for the tree or plant that it is a part of. 
           Now let's think about that for a minute. Here is a green thing with 
          veins in it that takes sunlight, carbon dioxide, which is what is left 
          from the air after we have used it, and water from the sky which is 
          evaporated from the ground, and not only produces food for its host 
          but at the same time it produces oxygen as a waste product for us to 
          breath! The truth is that without leaves of the trees and plants we 
          would soon all die from suffocation due to lack of oxygen! And oxygen 
          is the WASTE PRODUCT of a leaf! Wow! Is that important or what? 
          Scientist have determined the leaf to be the most important life 
          giving organism on the planet. 
          Now, back 
          to the original subject, If we take time to look at the simplicities 
          of Gods creation we can not only see how important the balance of 
          nature is but we also can see the incredible intelligence, detail, and 
          organization of our God. Until later, Dave   |
