Clouds in Hawaii

Never listen to the people that tell you to take the "easy" science classes in college. Someone doesn't get an "A". ME! I took Dinosaurs And Their Relatives, AIDS and other Sexually Transmitted Diseases, and Air Pollution for my science requirements. Not what most college kids take for science requirements, just the benefits of attending a research university, I suppose. Somebody is studying this stuff and publishing their findings somewhere. I rested on my laurels and figured these were the easy classes, and GASP I think I got all Bs, while everyone else probably got As. Or at least they all bragged they did.

The one thing I learned from my Air Pollution class is that clouds differ by region. I literally remember almost no other content. I am grateful for this little piece of knowledge.

Wherever we have lived or traveled, I am conscious that I am seeing clouds people in another part of the world may never experience. And that leaves me with complete respect and awe for our Creator, that He is so creative in even designing the clouds.Driving home from Costco, Hubby and I saw these low lying clouds. They erupted from behind these mountains, reflecting the sunset. Son1 called it an erupting volcano. We have ongoing discussions that low lying clouds over mountains (and sometimes they really are over inactive volcano craters, now called mountain ranges) are different than erupting volcanoes. It's a little confusing. He knows so much about volcanoes from school, from a museum, and the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. One thing he tells me is that God created these things, whatever they are. For that little acknowledgement, I am grateful.

"He makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth; he sends lightning with the rain and brings out the wind from his storehouses." Psalm 135:7
