Things that make you go "hmmmm?"


"We'll also encounter an even weirder possibility, which the physicist Andreas Karch and I discovered a year later: we could be living in a three-dimensional pocket of space, even though the rest of the universe behaves as if it is higher-dimensional.  This results open a host of new possibilities for the fabric of spacetime, which could consist of distinct regions, each appearing to contain a different number of dimensions.  Not only are we not in the center of the universe, as Copernicus shocked the world by suggesting five hundred years ago, but we just might be living in an isolated neighborhood with three spatial dimensions that's part of a higher-dimensional cosmos"
In the Introducation to Warped Passages

    "Have you servants out in the heavens?"
    "Where else? There is nowhere else."
    "But you, Oyarsa, are here on Malacandra, as I am."
    "But Malacandra, like all worlds, floats in heaven.  And I am not "here" altogether as you are, Ransom of Thulcandra.  Creatures of your kind must drop out of heaven into a world; for us the worlds are places in heaven.... It is enough to know that I and my servants are even now in heaven; they were around you in the sky-ship no less than they are around you here."
    "Then you knew of our journey before we left Thulcandra?"
    "No.  Thulcandra is the world we do not know.  It alone is outside the heaven, and no message comes from it."...
"...and we know no more of that planet: it is silent."
Out of the Silent Planet
by C.S. Lewis


He drove the man out; and at the east of the garden of Eden He stationed the cherubim and the flaming sword which turned every direction to guard the way to the tree of life.
Gen. 3:24

And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased."
When the angels had gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds began saying to one another, "Let us go straight to Bethlehem then, and see this thing that has happened which the Lord has
made known to us."
Luke 2:13



For He will give His angels charge concerning you,
To guard you in all your ways.
Ps. 91:11

Again, very interesting information. Our church doesn't recognize any of these days. (What am I saying, we don't even recognize Pentacost!) I learn so much from reading your blog.

Timothy was one of my favorite Bible characters when I was researching and writing our family discipling plan. I quoted 2 Timothy especially.

And, 1 Timothy 4:12 should be memorized by every Christian young person.

I'll have to come back later to view your CR pics. We have a satellite (only other option besides dial-up when we moved here). It is snowing and so... I have a download speed slower that slow. :o(

Thanks for your kind words. Yeah, I understand about that. When I was a Protestant I never knew any of that stuff either. It has been a joy learning about all these great Christians.

Oh, you have satellite too. We get the same problem with snow or heavy rains.
