The problem involved is too vast

for our limited minds..."
~Albert Einstein

"...We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn't know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God. We see the universe marvelously arranged and obeying certain laws but only dimly understand these laws."
~Albert Einstein, "What Life Means to Einstein," Saturday Evening Post

The heavens declare the glory of God;

the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

Day after day they pour forth speech;

night after night they reveal knowledge.

They have no speech, they use no words;

no sound is heard from them.

Yet their voice goes out into all the earth,

their words to the ends of the world.

~Psalm 19:1-4

To God's Glory,

Daily Prayer

God, Creator of the heavens and the earth, the whole world speaks of Your glory. I am so small, and yet You are mindful of me. You are so grand, and yet I would ignore You? Really?!

I stand and gaze and marvel at Your creation. I worship You. Oh my God, my Creator, my Savior, Heavenly Father, Lord. What a life! You are wonderful.

Amen
