The Pond Research Analyst Lucy Allen

A few years ago, I had no clue I would be living at "the Pond."

The Pond on most days is a place of quiet beauty. Other days may bring the power of a thunderstorm with the excitement of bright lightening. In the summer the evenings can be quite loud with the song of the bullfrogs, chirping of crickets and sometimes even the barks and howls of coyotes. However, at any time the hand of the Creator can be seen at the Pond.

I never knew so many lessons could be gleaned from nature, but I have learned much of God and His Son Jesus from unlikely characters such as crows, hummingbirds, and even a snake!

Time spent at the pond renews my spirit and my prayer is that through this little book you may experience the beauty, power, and the creatures all created by our Heavenly Father for us, his children, as if you too were seated on my back porch!

My desire, through God's hand, is to bring you, the reader, into a closer walk with God the Father. If you do not know Jesus Christ as your Savior I pray that the words in The Pond will enable you to see and feel the love of Jesus and create a desire to know Him in a personal relationship.

God's Word tells us there is only one way to eternal life and that is found in John 14:6: "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'"

Now bring your chair or blanket and come sit by the Pond with me and discover the God who loves you so!
