WHAT ARE WE MISSING?

The above graph is known light frequency. What it amounts to is this, if all the known light frequencies were the size of Mount Everest, the amount that us humans can see is the size of a golf ball. If you are not a science nut like myself, or a deep philosophical thinker you might find yourself saying, “Who cares?” or something of that nature.

Here is what came to my mind when I learned that. What cannot we not see? There are animals with better night vision, or distant vision. (The eagle comes to mind here) This opens the realm to so many things that could be out there. Energy that could be manipulated to form matter, paranormal manifestations, among many other exciting possibilities. That is only one sense to consider. Dogs, although they may not hear you when you call them, can hear you open a wrapper across a football field. Then there is the sense of smell. There are animals that can smell and taste things underwater and animals that use scent to track people.

The takeaway from this is there is so much possibilities for miracles and things we never knew existed. When you begin to think something is impossible try to picture a golf ball next to Mount Everest. There is so much we cannot see and so much left to explore. Next time you look out over the horizon just stop and wonder what else might be out there.

FOSSIL OR DIAMOND?

An interesting fact was brought to my attention that I think deserves our thought today.  When a living thing dies if put in the right heat, pressure and situation it becomes a fossil, or stone.  A mere statue of its former self.  Not as useful, not as lovely to look at, and not nearly as alive.  In the same thought, when a lump of coal is subjected to heat, pressure and the right situation it becomes a diamond.  Very useful, much lovelier to look at and with a brilliant shine.  So as this week begins to unfold, are we going to let the heat and pressure of life’s situations turn us into a fossil, cold and not very useful, or are we to become a diamond, full of shine and polish from all we have made it through and accomplished.  That very decision is up to us.  So when the challenges arrive this week, ask yourself “Am I going to let this turn me into a fossil or a diamond”.  Have a great week my friends!
