Running on Faith Weekday Devotions (Monday Febr 6, 2023):
Gen 1:11 “Then God said, ‘Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, & fruit trees on the earth bearing fruit after their kind with seed in them’; & it was so.”
Saturday, I attended the funeral for cross country teammate David Pulford’s mother in Manhattan, KS. David ran KC’s Hospital Hill 13.1M in ~1:12 as a 17 yr old.
At the reception afterwards, a renowned K-State Agronomy Prof (now retired) approached me. He had read my first book given to him by David. “Let me know when your next book is published.”
After introducing me to his wife & other peers he invited me to join their table. Dr. Thien, among other vast discoveries, developed & published the popular “Soil Texture by Feel Method” yrs ago. The Soil Science Society of America Fellow explained, “As I began studying plants & soils, evolution simply did not add up, I realized that there had to be a Creator. This is when I became a Christian.”
