I don't know when the last time you pried yourself away from the computer screen, TV, and iPod was (I know that I spend most of my waking moments staring at a screen), but the world outside is glorious!

I don't know when the last time you pried yourself away from the computer screen, TV, and iPod was (I know that I spend most of my waking moments staring at a screen), but the world outside is glorious!
I am constantly amazed by the vastness and complexity of the universe.
As a university student, each day I have the pleasure of learning about different aspects of the world that we live in - societies, culture, communication, environments, organisms, and so many other facets of life.
For instance, I was simply fascinated to learn the following information through my first lecture in a basic biology class. By no means is this an advanced or difficult course (the reason that I am taking it is to fulfill a prerequisite for a future class), but nevertheless, one can learn a great deal from the material presented!

This Bible study tool was drafted by myself for use during July, 2011. I hope that it comes in handy for some of you also - It provides a list of scripture passages and points that deal with nature and God's creation. By using this Biblical overview, we studied in more depth how one can praise God through time spent outdoors, amidst nature.
Feel free to comment on various passages, give feedback on how the outline could be improved, and add to the conversation concerning nature.

Sitting down in front of the computer, I proceed to log on to Weather.com to check various forecasting for the night, the weekend, and the week to come. To my surprise, a severe weather alert pops up in the feed - Thunderstorms and high winds expected for the area in the immediate future. My curiosity is sparked as I continue on to examine a radar-loop tracking the expected path of a highly developed storm cell.
A couple of the best words that I can use to describe what I saw are 'purely amazing'. The storm cell was a long, thin storm spanning almost the entire length of the state of Wisconsin North to South. What made the band even more interesting was the fact that there was barely any moderate-light weather within the storm - It was almost all extremely severe weather. Another thing to mention is the fact that the storm was only predicted to be a moderate/light intensity weather event just hours beforehand.
