Wow ! !  That is just mind boggling.  It makes me think that this universe is kind of like the truth, there has been a small amount revealed to us that we can now see.  Imagine how much gigantic truths are out there, just waiting to be revealed.  Kind of puts things into perspective.









amen to that kat.

I was listening to an older Bible Study, April 07, where Ray was going over dates in history.
He spoke of some things related to this;

Earth to Moon = 187,000 miles
Earth to Sun = 93,000,000 miles
speed of light = 186,000 miles/sec
7.5 min for sunlight to reach Earth
closest star = approximately 4 light years

Change the "show" from icons to images and change the "size" from 320 to 640, then click update. If you know your Latitudes and Longitudes, you can input them to get a placement from where you reside.

I started thinking about this again...you know the "Bigness" of this universe and the smallness of us...

Do you remember the Dr. Seuss story Horton Hears a Who? Or How the Grinch Stole Christmas? if you remember from your childhood or parenthood or grandparenthood!! You've no doubt read the stories more than once! Horton heard a Who! It was a little tiny creature who lived on a speck of dust! I have always thought what an imagination! BUT remember the Bible says "there is nothing at all new under the sun"! Eccl. 1:9 CLV

SO WHAT?? We are but tiny creatures living on a speck of dust ourselves!! When you think of how small our planet is in the vastness of space and how utterly invisible we are out there!! It boggles the mind to think about how insignificant we really are compared to the size of the universe! How is it that God who created all the trillions of stars, planets and whatever else is out there actually even thought to create us in the first place! What is man, that thou art mindful of him? Ps. 8:4

Sorry, but it is just so amazing that we even exist! Much less that the God of the whole thing, the Creator of it all would actually come to this little speck of dust and consider us! Not only that, but suffer humiliation, hatred, AND death at our hands! AND then in the END still loves enough to save us ANYWAY??
AND then decide, "naw If they don't love me I'll just throw them into a big old pit of burning, churning fire and burn them forever!! Muahahaha!"

Whoever believes in the burning pit of fire and brimstone surely hasn't considered what kind of God we really have! Are you kidding? God could have just destroyed every last shred of evidence that man ever even existed in the first place! He could have obliterated the earth as soon as Adam and Eve rebelled, He could have destroyed it quicker than He created it!!
 Have you ever worked with clay? If you don't like how it's turning out you just squash it in your hands and start over!! When you think of it REALLY..Who would EVER be good and obedient enough to save anyway?? How prideful and evil we are to think that God would actually burn some of us for eternity in a horrible lake of fire and brimstone without tossing all our worthless butts into that same fire!!

Ok I know, I'm rambling...I'm done!
Kathy :D

Marlene:
I second that Kathy.

In His Love,
Marlene

judith collier:
Kathy, I too cannot comprehend that the Creator of this universe deigns to look upon me, skin and bones and a beast in disguise. This is why I have trouble sensing God's love. Of course if He is our Father then he would love us like we love our children, I have to go through so much self talk to be able to realize His love since I do not have that many around me showing it to me. I think this makes a difference. But I make myself believe it even if I don't feel it. Judy
