A Quote On Love
Chaos Theory [2007]
"...But underneath all that bump-ba-da-bump mess
There is in fact a pattern
A truth
And it's love
The most important thing about love
Is that we choose to give it, and we choose to receive it
Making it the least random act in the Universe
It transcends blood, it transcends betrayal
And all the dirt that makes us human"
-Frank Allen
When I was watching this movie, in the end, when Frank (played by Ryan Reynolds) was giving his thought of wisdom and experience to his son-to-be, he was speaking about Love. And when I was listening to him speak, I was thinking to myself, "Hey! This guy is speaking the truth! That is exactly what Love is and exactly what the kind of Love God has for us."
Love is a powerful truth. It gives us the ability to reach beyond what we as humans naturally are. It gives us the opportunity to forgive. Love is what makes us more than human. And God's love is the ultimate Love that gives us Salvation. It is His Love that saves us from the sins of our nature and "transcends" us to be who we are.
How To Power Nap
Link: Lifehacker - Cheat sheet to napping
This is definately something that will come handy when I need to do my daily naps. It will give me more energy and nap more efficiently because I am doing it correctly.
Some of these tips are common sense, but a lot of these, such as the time cycle of a nap, are really useful. I'm gonna try it out [probably today] and see if the nap tips work.

Faith...
Link: WSJ - Too Much Faith In Faith
I was reading an article in the Wall Street Journal about faith. This person was blogging about the way that society puts too much weight on a person's religion and their religious background and how religion influences us so much, and questions this to the degree that it takes on for certain people in the news.
He points out a fact that people "blame" religion as the sole part of the "evil" in today's society; that without religion everything would be better. Alan points out in his article that, without religion, "evil" would probably still be around because it is not religion that bring these evil acts, but the humanness in us.
When I was reading this, I was totally saying in my mind, "Amen... yup...yup." That is exactly what the Bible describes as sin, that sin is in the world and that we need to fight against such things that corrupt us. For me, I believe that the Bible explains the truth of the world and I see it. I see how corrupted it is and how much we are just bad, with or without the Bible telling us so. And it's sad to see it. It's like someone telling you that you look ugly when it's true, but you don't want to hear it. So you blame the person that tells you the truth. That still doesn't mean that you don't look good. Same goes here, it still doesn't mean that the world is corrupt.
But the Bible doesn't leave it as "the world is bad." It goes on to say, and here's the good part, that we don't have to live in a world of "evil." Because Christ Jesus died for us on the Cross, we can receive Salvation through Him and be made anew.
Now, don't get me wrong and say that life is going to be paradise, that's not what it means to be living in a world without "evil." It means that we are not bound to such things because Jesus has overcome it for us on the cross. We are still living in the world, but are not of it. We are still going to face the "evil" but with God, we are able to overcome it and the sins of the world.
Going back to the article, is there a thing as too much faith? No, but what are you having your faith be put upon. Is it in someone else? Is it on what the person who kills hundreds say? Is it on the people that gossip around? Or is it in the word of God and the truth that is preached to all nations?
