What The Bleep is All This Quantum Physics Stuff About?
“Quantum Physics is the science of gods... Newtonian Physics is the science of the small minds of men.” Now don’t get me wrong. I’m not suggesting that you should forget the Newtonian world of three dimensions (3D) and just operate in the quantum soup--not if you want to get any results, that is.

Slow Leak
I recently just had 4 new tires put on my mini van but soon
afterwards, I noticed the front passenger tire kept losing air.
Each time air was added to it, it would soon leak out again.
This was a call for action, time to take it back to the garage
and let them tell me what I didn't want to hear. I had run over
a tiny nail somewhere and now my tire was no longer good
as new. But, after a small plug was inserted it is now back
to it's original state, holding air and just like new again. I
realized this is alot like our Christian walk. Is yours leaking?

Is There More To This Life?
I often ask myself this question. Not in the times of prosperity or when everything is going great. But, in the times when I feel alone or everything seems to be stagnant. There has been this lurking question underneath all the good times and all the bad times.

Trust in God
Ecclesiasts 5:18 Then I realized that it is good and proper for a man to eat and drink, and to find satisfaction in his toilsome labor under the
sun during the few days of life God has given him-for this is his lot. 19 Moreover, when God gives any man wealth and possessions, and enables
him to enjoy them, to accept his lot and be happy in his work-this is a gift of God. 20 He seldom reflects on the days of his life, because God keeps him occupied with gladness of heart.

Depending on only what you can see has limitations. Jesus told Peter to launch out into the deep. To catch the big fish and the sought after positions you have to get beyond shallow water. The righteous must live by faith.
