Splaining

I shot these photos of this amazing sea creature at the Gatlinburg Aquarium.
God was having a very creative day when he created this fellow.
The color and shape changes, which occur in seconds, were beyond belief.
God's got some splaining to do for this one.

Merriam Webster has a category on their website titled "Words We're Watching." Topping the list last weekend was mansplaining.  "It's what occurs when a man talks condescendingly to someone (especially a woman) about something he has incomplete knowledge of, with the mistaken assumption that he knows more about it than the person he's talking to does."

I had to laugh. First of all, it mentioned that you can put most any prefix in front of splaining, which was coined as an appropriate word by Ricky Ricardo, on the  I Love Lucy show years ago. 

"Lucy, you got some splaining to do."  

Secondly, God must have his own version of mansplaining for when we earthlings try to explain the ways of God.

How great is God-beyond our understanding! 

The number of his years is past finding out.

Job 35:26

As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother's womb, 

so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things.

Ecclesiastes 11:5 

Do you not know? Have you not heard?

The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth.

He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.

Isaiah 40:28
