Newton, Gravity, and God

By Philip

I think Newton was an intelligent man to make such an impact on science, engineering, and astronomy. He came up with many many new ideas about nature from keen observation. He applied the ideas made by people before him like Galileo and Copernicus. Newton was a leader in new thinking and invention. He came up with the universal law of gravity, explanation for light and rainbows, and invented calculus and reflecting telescope. God gives man the ability to reason. Therefore God allows his natural laws to be uncovered by people. Gravity is God's force holding everything together in the whole universe.  He rules over the universe and everything in it.  He does not take a break from it. I pity the man who takes too much pride in his intelligence and thinks there is no God. He is ultimately a fool. I want to make a new way of looking at autism. Loving us as we are is important. Being willing to search for the hidden talents of autistic people will improve the world.

*Lisa's note- An interesting idea is that Newton may have had Asperger's Syndrome.  You can read about it in this article in New Scientist.

The Cottage

By Philip

I had a go at camping in Canada this weekend. I loved it. Peaceful and quiet it was. My Aunt Kit and Uncle Mike made our family feel so welcome at their cottage. I am thankful I got to go. Nature was all around me. I made the most of being out in nature. I marveled at God's creation. I picked wildflowers and passed many plants and trees on our hikes. I smelled the pines. I heard animals chirp, splash, and scurry. The lake was so peaceful. My anxiety melted away looking at the clear and soothing water. I am sane and calm around all of nature and peace abounds in my soul. I wish I could live a more simple life. My perfect life would be in the country. Part of me wanted to stay forever.

At the cottage I tried lots of new things. I have made more daring efforts to try new things. I went on a motorboat. Motorboats are loud but fun.  I am putting up with loud noises more so I can slay my fears away. Action packed was my weekend.  I swam, paddleboated, hiked, fished, and rode on a boat and a canoe. I also saw animals like a heron, hummingbird, loon, and a fox. I tried fishing for the first time. Uncle Mike helped me by showing me what to do.  I didn't catch anything, but it was great to try. Mastering the fear of trying new things makes me satisfied with how well I am living now. Making bolder decisions makes for a more exciting life.  I am glad I went to the cottage. It was so relaxing and fun.

Peace From God

Everyday I listen to God's word. My mom reads me the Bible every morning. She reads from Lia's birthday present Jesus Calling. I really like it. Peace comes from putting into practice God's word by believing what He says. I look to God when I am momentarily anxious. He tells awesome promises that I will never walk alone. I am really comforted by answers pertaining to His love that never ends. The Master of the universe God attaches Christ to your soul if you believe. I mean to tell others this good news. When you believe in Christ, Satan has no power in your life. The best solution to anxiety is Jesus in your life. Peace be with you. 

Love, Philip
