OVER THE HILL OR UNDER

We have an expression "Over the hill" meaning

we are past our prime.  Our best or most useful 

days are gone.  We are more useless now.

I heard a grandfather make the statement;

"It is better to be over the hill than under the 

hill"

But is it???

It just depends.

If in truth we have a vital living obedient
relationship with God - the truth is; being
under hill is better.  Few of us are in a hurry,
but being under the hill would only be our
body.  But our real self, our soul, would be
with God in heaven.

But if we do not have a real born again living
relationship with God - we had better pray we
can stay on top of the hill because the alternative
will be hell forever.

FOSSILS ARE WHERE YOU FIND THEM

THE OLD FOSSIL

No that is not me.

It is better looking than I am and better preserved.

Just another one

The picture below is the area where the fossils were found.  With out trying very hard I have found at least half a dozen fossils in an area of about 40' X 40'.  Most of these are (were) sea shells.

Now what were sea shells doing on top of a hill about fifteen hundred feet above sea level and four hundred miles from the closest sea?

Believe it or not,

"The flood continued forty days upon the earth: and the waters
increased, and bore up the ark, and it rose high above the earth.
The waters prevailed and increased greatly upon the earth; and
the ark floated on the face of the waters.  And the waters prevailed
so mightily upon the earth that all the high mountains under the
whole heaven were covered; the waters prevailed above the
mountains, covering them fifteen cubits deep.  And all flesh
died that moved upon the earth, birds, cattle, beasts, all swarming
creatures that swarm upon the earth, and every man; everything
on the dry land in whose nostrils was the breath of life died.
He blotted out every living thing that was upon the face of the
ground, man and animals and creeping things and birds of
the air; they were blotted out from the earth.   Only Noah was
left and those that were with him in the ark.  And the waters
prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty days."
(Genesis 7:17-24 RSV)
