Someone is in charge!

Thomas P. Sheahen writes at American Thinker,

...scientists stand open-jawed and in awesome wonder, consider all that lies before us, both known and unknown. On the one hand, we are very impressed with the vastness of the universe; but on the other, we are even more impressed that it all makes sense, that the entire story hangs together. There is a unity that pervades all of science, and that unity points very clearly to the realization that Someone is in charge.

...It is the small size of the mind, not the large size of the numbers, that leads to the mistake of thinking God can’t handle the job.

...As editor Francis Church wrote in 1897, “Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world.” That point has gradually sunk in with scientists. By accepting with humility that we don’t know it all, and that our scientific instruments only investigate a small slice of the universe, we realize that reality extends far beyond the boundaries of science. “Love and generosity and devotion exist, and we know that they give to life its highest beauty and joy.”

Get a life - by giving away the one you have!

Get a life — by giving away the one you have.

Get a life in which you give. God said, “Let us make man in our image” — you were not made to be one — you were made in the image of God who is Three in One. You were made in His image, you were made to be in community — you were made to be in giving relationship.

Relationship is the only real reality.

Get a life by giving yours away. Don’t let a week go by until you make one new friend just by saying Hi. Pull over and pick roadside daisies and give them to the lady running the drive-through and look up at a full moon hanging pearly white in a black sky and the kingdom heaven is like that — go sell everything, leave everything, change everything, just to get that pearl of great price.

Seek out people to love and let them love you and you love them.

And it’s the art of loving that will be the one great work of your life.

So get a life by living generous, get a life by taking nothing for granted but by taking everything as gift.

Give someone the gift of listening… linger and look into their eyes and really listen and this is free and nobody can buy it and what is better than paying attention to someone with all of you fully present?
