Was God soppy he created man?
Before sending the
flood that destroyed
all * of mankind
except eight people, Noah,
his wife, his three sons
and their respective wives,
Genesis 6: 5-6 reveals that
God was displeasured with
His creation: “Then the
Lord saw that the wicked
ness of man was great in the
earth, and that every imagi
nation of the thoughts of his
heart was only evil continu
ally. And the Lord was sorry
that He created man on the
earth and it grieved Him to
His heart.”
God had every reason to
be disappointed in man. The
first man and woman on
earth were not the products
of a womb, but were created
from the dust of the earth.
God gave life to Adam and
Eve and placed them in an
eternal paradise, yet one of
their first acts was to dis
obey God and be banned
"Man’s evil nature
came into full
bloom when God
destroyed Sodom
and Gomorrah."
Out-dated but still with plenty of use
Thave been young
I and now am old.
-LAnd in all my years
I have never seen the Lord
forsake a man who loves
Him.” - Psalms 37:25, Living
Bible.
Parked in the driveway at
“Cole’s Comer” is a 1952
General Motors bus, which
prior to its arrival, I insisted
I did not want. I do not even
know what to call it. To begin
with, I called it “the thing”
- as in “I did NOT want “the
thing!” Then, because I was
not sure if it was a Greyhound
or a Trailway, it was referred
to as a Trailhound.
We were offered the bus
several times but it was far
from the description of the
motor home of my dreams.
Each time we were contact
ed, the price was reduced.
That did not change my deci
sion. I did NOT want “the
thing.”
Eventually, the price of the
bus was drastically lowered.
I became convinced that it
had possibilities of being con
verted into a motor home
that would surpass anything
affordable to our budget.
Somewhat bewildered, I
prayed, “Lord, I don’t know
what we’re going to do with
‘the thing’, but if You want
us to have it, I’m not going

gone downhill since.
Man’s evil nature came
into full bloom when God
destroyed Sodom and
Gomorrah.
At Abraham’s pleading for
God to spare the righteous
in Sodom, God promised
Abraham that he would not
to destroy the city if 10 righ
teous men could be found.
God sent two angels to
Sodom disguised as ordinary
men to determine Sodom’s
fate. While they were stay
ing overnight at Lot’s house,
a mob came to the house,
demanding that the dis
guised angels come outside
so “they could know them”
- to have unnatural sex
with them. When the angels
refused, the men attempted
to break inside the house.
The angels instantly struck
the men with blindness and
instructed Lot and his fam

There is nothing fancy
about “the thing” but the

family well since it was pur

was before my husband’s

its imminent destruction.
As Lot’s family fled, God
rained down on Sodom and
Gomorrah a torrential storm
of fire and brimstone that
completely leveled the cit
ies and annihilated all their
inhabitants.
God will again destroy the
earth. This time by fire. 2
Peter 3: 10 states, “The day
of the Lord will come like a
thief, and then the heavens
will pass away with a loud
noise, and the elements will
be dissolved with fire, and
the earth and the works that
are upon it will be burned
up.”
God had the choice to
make man an automaton
who could only obey Him
and respond righteously to
every circumstance or to
empower man with free will
to choose between right and
wrong.
God chose the latter, but
being omniscient He knew
beforehand that man would
fail, so He made provision
to redeem man and set him
right with his maker.
John 3:16 tells us how:
“For God so loved the world,
that He gave His only begot
ten Son, that whosoever
believeth in Him should not
perish, but have everlasting
life.”

Summer trips with the
grandson who lives close
by were traditional until he
graduated from high school.
Annual trips to South Texas
in the old bus made it pos
sible for clothing to be deliv

Mexico.
Lots of happy memories
are stored up in the out
dated model. Perhaps the
most valuable memory comes
from reflecting on how, after
all these years, its usefulness
has not been outlived.
Thank God, He does not
reject us because of age and
mileage. I am grateful that
He uses out-dated models. I
have been around a few more
years than the old bus I did
not want. Praise The Lord,
He still wants me!.
