Humphrey and Friends

Remember the television show, Reading Rainbow? I distinctly remember this book being read and feeling so sorry for the lost whale.





Now there are two more whales that are stuck, Delta and Dawn. A mom and baby. You can read the article here. The junior high I went to specialized (sorta) in Marine Biology, kind of odd for an Arizonan school, but then maybe that is why all the students were so interested in it. Each year, there was a special trip to California, focusing on marine biology- whale watching, snorkeling at Catalina Island, dissecting fish at Scripps Institute in Long Beach. It was an awesome program. Oh and by the way, there is an amazing IMAX film out there, probably one of the best I've seen.

Makes you want to be a diver and preserve the reefs. Watching things like this are a kinda of like smack on the back of the head, saying "wake up- take the time to appreciate His creation!"- (betcha ya didn't know slaps on the back of the head could talk, huh?). What an awesome, omnipotent, omniscient God we have that can keep track of all of those little organisms and still love, care for, and discipline us. "Great are the works of the Lord, studied by all who delight in them. Full of splendor and majesty is His work, and His righteousness endures forever." ESV, Psalm 111:2-3
