Jesus, Engineer and Tree Expert

I have been laying, looking up at trees a lot this week. Sounds weird I know... A majority of those times have been the result of being in a hammock though. One time was the result of being tired after working all week, then immediately mowing the lawn and needing a break. I just laid down on the driveway staring up at the tree branches and started thinking, I wonder if Jesus ever did this while he was having moments alone in the garden with God. 

It must be so cool to look up at something you made the design plans for. That you engineered together and see it functioning in all its glory and magnificence. We learned the biology of a tree in college, how water and nutrients flow. It is so impressive. As an engineer, I stare at the branches and marvel at how far they can grow and still be strong and stable. Even strong enough to support the weight of by body in a hammock. They are an engineering feat, and they grow that way by design. 

How unique and special for creator and designer to enter his creation not just as an observer, but in reality and fullness. To eat from trees, use them as important lessons, and be ultimately be hung on one.
