What you have done is wonderful. I know this very well.” Psalm 139:14 “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give will never be thirsty. The water I give will become a spring of water gushing up inside that person, giving eternal life.” John 4:13-14 “A thief comes to steal and kill and destroy, but I came to give life—life in all its fullness.” John 10:10 “God does not see the same way people see. People look at the outside of a person, but the Lord looks at the heart.” 1 Samuel 16:7 Terms Learned in This Episode: Igneous Rocks : Rocks formed from cooled lava (originally magma). Sedimentary Rocks : Rocks formed from sediments (tiny pieces) of eroded rocks and sometimes once-living organic materials. Erosion: A process in which something is broken down over time by wind, water, or other natural forces. Metamorphic Rocks : Rocks changed from one form to another by extreme heat or pressure. Minerals: Substances God made in nature that are not alive and don’t come from plants or animals. They are the ingredients of rocks. We need many minerals to live, and we get a lot of minerals from the foods we eat. Satisfied: We are pleased and content. We have what we need and do not want or need more. To be satisfied is to have enough. Find more Bible & Nature resources at Erynlynum.com
