Treasures of Cape Town for sure. Yesterday, Julian and I drove through to see Granny and then spent a leisurely few hours strolling through the Company Gardens.  Cape Town at her best…

How can people believe there is no God when you see how small we are and how big the world is.  The most amazing feature in the Museum is this massive 20 metre long real skeleton of a Blue Whale…

20m Blue whale skeletonIt looks like something out of Jurassic Park! Below it are massive whale jaw bones.

What a wonderful city! And to think, I live here! Humbled and appreciative!

Nehemiah 9:6  “You are the Lord, you alone. You have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them; and you preserve all of them; and the host of heaven worships you.”

Amen!

God bless you loads!

In His Grip!
