communication

In the grand scheme of things, I know nothing. Nothing at all.

However, there is one thing that I do know. Communication is the key to everything. When I say everything, I mean everything. Think about it. If you cannot grasp the concept, try a different approach. Try to think (or actually try) about going through your day with out communicating to anyone. No communication at all.

No speaking.
No nods.
No hugs or kisses.
No waves.
No telepathy.
You basically could not touch the internet at all.

How would that change your day? Would it be easy or hard to take up such a challenge? Hard. Impossible. You could not do it unless you put yourself in a sound proof box and went to sleep or something. It would be ridiculous to go through an hour, let alone a day or a year without communication.

Because we, as humans are communal creatures and must be involved with other humans, we might as well try for once to get better at communication. The lack of communication can kill relationships.
It does daily.

So, take some time, think about how you communicate. Think about how you could communcate better. To anyone; your spouse, friend, significant other. Just try.

Communication is the key.

collide

my life right now is going absolutely amazing. you know how I know?


my dreams and reality daily collide.

collide is one sweet word.
who doesn't want to use collide in a sentence? no one.

collide: 1. to strike one another or one against the other with a forceful impact; come into violent contact; crash 2. to come together with violent, direct impact.

yeah, my life's like that. my dreams and passions violently crash into my daily routines, my waking hours, my reality.

daily i have moments where i become numb. "did that just happen to me?" movie perfect moments. brief moments in space that are timeless. with out time.

that's how i know my life is awesome. everything i want is meeting everything i have. that's how i know.

collide.




the dawn is breaking,
a light shining through,
I'm barely waking,
and I'm tangled up in you.

even the best fall down sometimes,
even the wrong words seem to rhyme,
out of the doubt that fills my mind,
I somehow find,
You and I collide.
- Howie Day

finite minds

sometimes the only way that you are able to understand something is to understand that you have not the power to comprehend and understand it.

There are things in this world that we must accept. that we cannot feasibly understand by our finite human minds. We must trust and have faith in our Creator.

We cannot test everything that we come in contact with, nor can we know everything. it is not humanly possible. Testing some of the aspects of Time and Gravity? Other dimensions? They're pretty abstract and hard to grasp in order to test. If we could, what would be the point in an omnipotent, omniscient God? There would be none. Not only that, but there would be no trust involved. no faith necessary. There would be no need for a relationship with Him.

So, such ideas such as the presence of God outside of time, the Trinity, and predestination are maybe not meant to be explained. Maybe it is part of the beautiful mystery that is God. Maybe we need Him to explain things that are too much to handle. Maybe it is not in His will for us to know or perceive them at this time. We must learn to trust His unfailing wisdom in these radical ideas.

Some ideas are not of this world. and that's the point.

Trust and Faith.
