Rubix Cube World

The man was sitting a  the table near mine and I was fascinated watching him. He was manipulating a Rubix cube with 294 colored squares. Now I've never even been able to solve the normal 54 square version, so as I watched him spinning and twirling the block effortlessly I was amazed. It looked as if he was not even thinking about what he was doing with the rapid pace of maneuvers.

Earlier in the day I had spoken with a couple of friends who had talked about problems that were going on in their lives and how they had begun to question where God was in their whole situation. Didn't He care? Couldn't He do something to stop things from swirling out of control? Why was He letting them suffer so much? When was He going to rescue them from disaster?

So as I watched the man with the Rubix cube sometimes making moves that didn't seem right or necessary, but in reality the moves had to be made in order to get the desired final outcome with each side being complete with their own color.

It seems that God is probably doing the same thing in the world and in our lives and even though it doesn't always appear that He is in total control, He is. It may even require a move that seems like it doesn't make sense, but God is the Master Architect of our life. His plan and purpose is perfect and eventually we will see that if we trust Him and His ability to shape us into His image each and every move was a part of His plan.

Jeremiah 32:17 "Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you."

Mount of the Holy Cross

Image
For years people have enjoyed the awe of Mount of the Holy Cross which is a 14,000 foot mountain in the Sawatch Range of Colorado. It is named for the distinctive snow-filled cross at the top of the mountain and was proclaimed a national monument by Herbert Hoover in 1929. Painters have painted it; photographers have photographed it and hikers have hiked it, because of its special beauty. When my children were young and visiting the area, we would take the gondola up the mountain to the observation deck at Eagle’s Nest for the perfect view of the majestic Mount of the Holy Cross.  So when my grandchildren were visiting this summer, it seemed natural to take them to the same spot for old times’ sake.  The mountain had not changed and the view was still inspiring, but something was terribly wrong. The name on the sign at Eagle’s Nest had been changed. It was no longer labeled Mount of the Holy Cross, but instead has been replaced with the designation Cross of Snow. Why would that be do

My Latest Award!

This is my niece Allison Bullock who wins triathlons! I won an award today, but before you go getting all excited for me or want to see how you can win one too, you might want to read more. This honor might not be one you want to receive, because you see it is not an accolade that I really want either.  I went for my annual mammogram this morning and while there the doctor found some suspicious areas and wanted to have an ultrasound performed. While laying on the sterile bed, with my pretty pink robe opened and covered with goo used for the transducer, the hand-held device that sends out the waves which produce the picture, the technician declared that I had won the prize for the most cysts she had ever seen in a patient. How do you like that one! I guess the good part is that cysts are not usually dangerous, but still…. I have received other awards in my life that are much more prestigious than the one today, but there is a future award that I hope to obtain that will be more
