I live in Montería, near the Colombian cost, usually, a quite sunny place where the summer never ends.
Hilarious (bloody) Einstein's reply to a journal editor 😂🤣😂🤣:
God is the King over all the earth. Praise him with a psalm. God reigns above the nations, sitting on his holy throne. The rulers of the world have gathered together with the people of the God of Abraham. For all the kings of the earth belong to God. He is highly honored everywhere. (Ps. 47:7 - 9)
...blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit. (Jer. 17:8)
The godly will flourish like palm trees and grow strong like the cedars of Lebanon. For they are transplanted to the Lord’s own house. They flourish in the courts of our God. Even in old age they will still produce fruit; they will remain vital and green. (Ps. 92:12-14)
For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land of flowing streams and pools of water, with fountains and springs that gush out in the valleys ... It is a land where food is plentiful and nothing is lacking (Dt. 8:7-9)
God said it's green!
