Because Everything Seems To Point To Christ

There's far too much to talk about for Sabbath.  I would have to be enraptured by the Word of God to fully convey everything concerning this day.  Don't fret—I plan to get to that stage of life.

What I can tell you now is this simple statement: in seeking insight, I continually come about to Jesus.  No matter what element of life I begin to analyze, further study draws me to the character of Christ.

He's the "ultimate package".  Let's assume that seeking God chiefly involves witnessing (aka telling people about your life, emphasizing interactions with God and people), justice, and prayer.  Jesus fills this bill to the top:
  1. He witnessed to the crowds; that is, he told them what He sees God and His kingdom to be.
  2. He comes for the sick, not the healthy.
  3. His ministry, following the Sabbath that he begins it on, STARTS with prayer.
Excuse me, I must go read more about "this Jesus guy".

Bottleneck

Hello Again!  Welcome!  Here's tonight's menu:

  1. The dynamic U of C, M enters into its fifth official year of undergraduate enrollment.  I am a Junior now, majoring in Applied Mathematics.
    1. By "applied math," I describe the application of additional math to "environmental engineering".
    2. "Engineering" means discipline.
    3. "Environmental" means that I care about God, people, and creation, but not enough to argue with people that reject environmentalists.
      1. I like these objectors.  They are "cruel friends" that often tell me what not to do with my degree.  Thus, I  can avoid fulfilling certain stereotypes associated with my profession.
      2. "Aww, an environmentalist.  How cute.  I will tell him what he should really be doing."
      3. "Speak softly and carry a big stick" --TR
    4. "Mathematics" means "a big stick".
  2. There was a debate about Disneyland being the happiest place on earth a couple weeks ago, or some related claim about Disneyland.  Within the last two weeks, additional factors have come to my attention:
    1. Pro: Disney now owns Marvel and has inherited a wealth of intellectual property.  As long as they keep things from mixing too much, we should see some cool characters at the 'land.
    2. Con: After having met Mickey or some other "large costumed character" at the park, did she/he ever say anything to you?  Or, was there consuming silence after you hugged/shook hands/ took a memorable picture?  Think about it.
  3.   Many are concerned that the waiting times for medical treatment will be lengthened with a national health care policy.  I have done no research; therefore, I speak as one with "authority".
    1. Many mathematicians, programmers, and medical researchers currently work on algorithms  to optimize diagnosis and treatment (types and times), given some preliminary data.  What's the data, you might ask?  Oh, government studies and... all the forms we have to fill out when we get to the hospital, plus our recorded medical history.  The 'waiting process' is getting better and faster—just make sure to fill out those forms!
    2. Does [more people in vicinity of medical attention] lead to [more public awareness about self-treatment] and to [fewer irreversible, costly medical afflictions]?
  4. Penmanship: So many opportunities to practice, so little time.
For dessert:  anything from the Bag o' Candy.

Midlife resolutions

Today I saw the save file on a video game titled, "Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door".
The save file had been played for a while, just under 50 hours.
It was my file.  A waste of my time for the last month.

Never again will I play "the video games".  Never ever ever ever ever.  I have no plans to to play video games ever again.

Reasons:

1)  They make me dumber.  I have a lot of misplaced pride in my intellect.
2)  I don't think my eyes can take much more staring at a screen than what I give to them via school-related computing.
3)  I'm not hanging out with other people when I do.  And this time, right now, demands my participation in the community, local and global.

Here's what I want to do:
3)  Find out more about Solar Cookers International
2)  Seek the fulfillment of my "grapes2blackberries" dream.
1)  Do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with Him.

What do you want to do; are you doing it?

Wake up!

Wake up!  Time passes with the wind.
Are we embracing the light of day, or do we chase the sunset?

Does our love speak for us?

If the eye is the lamp of the body, I'd like to see better.
