Like the air-invested heron, great persons should conduct themselves; and the higher they be, the less they should show. (Philip Sidney)
Thinking about the musings from Day 110: The Holy Bible and Biology – E And F.…

So what comes after the letter H?
Some rest.
Do not feel discouraged if you do not see a connection with the 22 sets of verses from today from the Holy Bible that relate to the scientific field of biology. Do not feel discouraged if you are still unsure that the verses contained in the letters A through some of F contain any scientific relevance at all. Instead, understand that after you have read these verses, you are continuing the process of learning about the relationship between the scientific field of biology and the Holy Bible…perhaps without even realizing it.
18 And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat. (Deuteronomy 14:18 KJV)
Was today’s blog a little confusing at times? Was the content perhaps a little overwhelming? Did you feel lost not understanding some or most of the subject matter?
Those feelings are totally understandable and it is ok to have one or more of those feelings. Remember that you are reading Day 110: The Holy Bible And Biology – E And F.
If you haven’t been in class since the first day of school…or when the project began…or when the contract was first signed, etc., these feelings make perfect and logistical sense.
