The picture says it all as I just finished two weeks in intensive seminary courses (Essentials of Pastoral Care & Apocalyptic Literature and Revelation). It was a good, but two weeks straight of being in class eight hours a day can be draining. And it isn’t over yet with reading and course work still to do – that added with the couple classes I am taking in the semester. It will no doubt be busy for the next couple weeks.
I have a couple ideas for some posts and will probably do some procrastinating from school work and post them in the coming days/weeks.
I am in class all this week (Essentials of Pastoral Care) and next week (Book of Revelation) taking two intensive seminary classes. So far so good (the class has been great), but I am only 27.6% into it. I like school but after an eight hour day of class and homework at night it can be a bit much. It can be alarming when you start to dream about it.
I read an interesting news story today about how scientists have to adjust the world’s atomic clock in order to account for actual time this year. In other words, 2006 comes a second later. I didn’t know this before, but the world moves at a non-perfect, more organic, pace according to scientists (due to various reasons) and although the atomic clock is pretty much perfect, the earth is more organic and changes.
I found that reality interesting and comforting. As a follower of Jesus and one who believes God created the world, however he did it, it is comforting that God created it beyond our scientific measurements. Even though we may have designed and “perfected” the atomic clock, the world isn’t that easy to understand or predict.
It is amazing to think God’s creation is beyond our scientific measurement and we have to adjust our measurements to it.
P.S. In the Google Fight of Atomic Clock verses The Earth, The Earth wins by over 100 times the amount of Atomic Clock.
