Grow


And the LORD God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

Genesis 2:9

Love the part of this scripture where it says that the trees were pleasing to the eye. I really enjoy watching a tree, especially a big one, hearing the sound of the leaves moved by the wind and contemplating the perfect design, perfect from one single leaf to all the structure, from the root to the treetop, function and form in equilibrium. Oh God, You are wonderful!

Grow is this week's IF topic.

Oliver, I followed your connection to your blog beneath your latest flickr post and want to let you know how glad I am that I did. Your drawings are wonderful and I especially love the scripture that you used and your thoughts about how wonderful God is. I couldn't agree with you more!!!! There are many wonderful things in God's creation... the tree being one of my favorites.

Jijo e su! Hablando de árboles ayer vi unos padrísimos en el Hotel Montecarlo a donde fuimos a pasar el domingo con la familia y otro que es muy bueno es el de El Laberinto del Fauno, me acordé porque me quemé la movie el sábado, jejeje. Eso es todo Oliver. Por cierto, muy chido el dibujo y felicidades por la Intuos.

Hace mucho le decìa yo al Señor, que con la creaciòn de los àrboles, se habìa sacado màs que un 100, màs que...no hay calificaciòn... es inalcanzable la definiciòn , como es todo lo que Èl ha hecho, hace y sigue haciendo...Gracias a Dios por los àrboles...y por todo!!!

Oliver, I emailed you on your website wondering if I could use this beautiful image for a promotional piece for my organization, Youth Unlimited, which is a faith-based agency working with youth in Toronto, Ontario Canada. Please email me at scottmoore[at]youthunlimitedgta.com!

Thanks,
Scott

I just saw this on designbyhumans.com and thought it would be cool if it was a Christian shirt. Turns out it is! Do you have the verse on the back of the shirt?
