Writing What I Know


Right now I'm kinda stuck in a rut. I'm stuck on what to paint for an art project, stuck on what college to go to, stuck on what to write about in a blog...

The general rule of thumb for writing well is write what you know.

Well, since I'm taking a break from studying anatomy, and now I know about it, I'll write about muscle contractions.

Our muscles are made up of tiny fibers that are super thin. In order to contract and relax, different chemicals must be released from different parts of the muscle in order to allow contraction and relaxation to occur. My teacher wrote it out in a 7 step process.

I won't bore you with the different chemical reactions, but my point is that the 7 step process it takes me a minute to comprehend, my body has already gone through it several times, probably mostly by sratching my head. ;)

If you realy want to know about God's craftmanship, study anatomy. Because David wasn't kidding when he said, "I am feafully and wonderfully made." Psalm 139:14

The First Breath


Seeing biblical prophechy line up before my eyes, I am beginning to wonder more and more what Heaven will be like, and also more about the rapture. God gives us clues, but I still wonder.

This is for sure,

"He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be bo nore, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away." Revelation 21:4

The Bible also mentions no darkness, transluscent gold, and new bodies.

The best explanation as to how the rapture may feel was this Sunday from the Jr High pastor at my church, he thinks it will like emerging from the ocean after getting wiped out by a wave. Jesus said the end is drawing near.

If our car were representative of our lives, it does not mean to pull over and stop the car and wait. It means to keep driving, but to keep the eyes continually on the horizion, waiting for that first breath into eternity.
