"Doing Nature"

   It is funny how my mind works some days. I woke up this morning, knowing that I did not have much time to study and write, thinking of what my wife's flying instructor used to say when flying would interfere with his "religious schedule". When she would ask him to fly with her on some trip that particular day, he would always say it would be OK, that he would just "do nature" that day instead of going to church.

   I guess I could say the same thing today, since playing golf could surely qualify as doing nature. I can always meditate on God while I am in the midst of nature. If it were not for the frustrations of my game, that fact might even have a true ring to it.

   But, alas, time slips away, and even as I read Oswald today, I realize that I cannot do justice to what he wants to tell me. I just say that God understands and that I will just "do nature" today and all will be OK.

Really?
