SANDS

Picking an address for a blog can be tough so Susanna decided to setup two blogs and let me select the one I liked. I cannot remember the other name but this one sandsadopt originated from our initials so it could mean susannaandstephenadopt or stephenandsusannaadpot. With it being sandsadpot neither one of us can get top billing, so a person reading this blog can make up their own mind on who gets the top billing. If you know us, you know that it does not matter whose name is first. But after I picked the sandsadopt, I wondered if people would try to figure the meaning of sandsadopt. Well, I just answered that question above but yesterday I had a thought of looking up sand/sands in the bible.

Psalm 139
17-18

Your thoughts—how rare, how beautiful! God, I'll never comprehend them!
I couldn't even begin to count them—any more than I could count the sand of the sea.

Those verses are great; however, looking at the ones before 17 and 18 are really amazing.

13-16
Oh yes, You shaped me first inside, then out; You formed me in my mother's womb.
I thank You, High God—You're breathtaking! Body and soul, I am marvelously made!
I worship in adoration—what a creation! You know me inside and out, You know every bone in my body; You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit, how I was sculpted from nothing into something. Like an open book, You watched me grow from conception to birth; all the stages of my life were spread out before You, the days of my life all prepared before I'd even lived one day.
