Still no rain...

...the last of May and still no rain.  We went to the hospital yesterday morning, I had a couple of appointments, then we shopped (got strawberries) and went to Mill Hill so Col could do his butterfly transect (don't ask).

Captain B was called off on a search yesterday.  I did manage to get myself off the sofa, hobbled about doing housework.  I phoned Aunt Jo, wrote out a thank you card for the BBQ, and answered another question from my internet friend.

This time he was telling me that the Bible could not be true as it describes the earth as flat.  

I was so happy to be able to show him that it does not. In Isaiah the earth is described using the Hebrew word "chugh", which means "globe" or "sphere".   And in Job, one of the earliest of Bible books, the earth is described as "hanging upon nothing".

So the Inspired Scriptures gave us a perfect description of the round earth, hanging on nothing, centuries and centuries before we worked it out.

And it is only very recently that we have been able to see the earth - a blue and white jewel - a globe - floating in space, hanging on nothing - in those amazing pictures  that have come back from various satellites and space craft

Isaiah 40:22:  "There is one who is dwelling above the circle of the earth, the dwellers in which are as grasshoppers."

"(God) is stretching out the north over the empty place, hanging the earth upon nothing." - Job 26:7
