Of Cars, Mice and Men

I am still amazed where a click will take you. As you sit at the computer, I am equally amazed at how many times we read and click. This was a train of thought I was having one day. I sure wish I had written it down that day. It seemed so overwhelming!

Anyway, I was thinking about how complex life is. Look at cars, for example. Driving--once you have learned how, it seems you start the car and sail from place to place without much notice of the details of the trip. But is it really that simple? It would take several minutes to explain how your gasoline combustion engine works. Driving is really not easy. There are some functions that you do as a part of the trip in the car.

Complexity. The clicks of my mouse. Sometime when you are working away on your web page or researching a subject, just stop and page back. No wonder people scream for more ram and faster modems! We have so many places to go! And don't we take these instant jaunts all over the continent for granted? Talk about travel. Just think about how many different computer servers you are zipping around. It is astounding when you dwell on it!

And then there is the human machine that designs and builds these other machines--the most fragile and yet most intricate machine of all! Maybe you don't feel fragile, but you really are. Remember that hangnail that preoccupied you thoughts until you could trim it? Your body it so delicate that something could happen in an instant and drastically change how you live your days.

For that matter, your life could end. Did you assume that you would take that breath that just entered your lungs and feeds the blood that pumps the heart that sustains your life? Fragile. Complex.

we are wonderfully made!

For You created my inmost being;
You knit me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
How precious to me are Your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!
Psalm 139:13-14, 17

As a father has compassion on his children,
so the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him;
for He knows how we are formed,
He remembers that we are dust.
Psalm 103:13-14
