Unstoppable Force!

A small part of the universe exploded in the New Mexico desert near Los Alamos, the explosion of the nuclear bomb. the weapon the ended WW II and kept the major powers at bay. In 1945 man was able to exploit in miniscule form, the mighty  energy of the universe, locked up in the atom. In short the Gamma Ray burst was a microsm of the awesome energy unleashed from a supernova. This dying star has the power of all the energy ever produced by the sun in its 15 billion year lifespan. (evolutionary time scale of course)

Think about that for a moment, and then think about the coming apocalypse when God decides to create a new heavens and a new earth. As he says in Peter that "the elements shall melt with a fervent heart"  He also hints at the intense heat that will plague the earth's inhabitants during the tribulation period. Im no scientist, but in listening to the History channel I am awestruck by the killer radiation that is released by these stars. An unstoppable force is coming to stop Satan  and his principalities in their tracks and Im so glad that I am on the winning side!

Did you know that gamma rays (electromagnetic radiation) are used to kill cancer cells?  The higher end of the electromagnetic field are the gamma rays that emanate from dying stars.  We experience radiation from the sun and have to put on sunblock to protect ourselves. One day man will "cry for the rocks and the mountains" to crush him to hide himself from the judgements from the heavens. (matt 24:29) and Rev 6, as the power of the heavens will be shaken. Dear friends, Christians are not going to be here, but alas for the poor souls that will!! Whose side will you be on?  Are you part of God's family?

As I watched this history channel programhttp://www.history.com/shows/armageddon/videos/gamma-ray-burst#gamma-ray-burst  it became painfully clear that there are forces in the universe that we are just beginning to discover..man is just a babe when it comes to understanding divine power!  If the power of life and death can be tapped by using  gamma rays to kill cancer, and kill human beings (atomic bomb), imagine what will happen when the fury of GOd is unleashed??

Two things came to mind. First I am happy that God has designed this earth the way he has, because most of the radiation and gamma rays from the sun and other stars are absorbed by the earth's atmosphere. ( no accident) However all God has to is explode one star a few million light years away and the earth is vaporized!  Secondly, I am glad that God has given us a way of avoiding the judgement of the seven seals found in Revelation. He gives us a glimpse of the horrors to come to befall the earth's  inhabitants; the earth could literally burn up with radiation, (protection removed) or a star could shower our planet with killer gamma rays, and toast the earth. However God chooses to do it, is up to Him. He has offered a way out of this carnage on planet earth..and stands at the door of our heart knocking.. Rev 3:20.. Will you listen?

Thank God I will be a spectator to witness this awesome display, wher will you be>

Crystal Ball of Change? What will happen in the New Year?

Well here we are at the helm of a New Year, the year 2011, the beginning of a new decade.  I am reminded of what happened this weekend over at my parents place for New Years dinner, one of my nieces comes up to me and complains that the video games that I bought for Christmas, only a week after, had already outlived its usefulness. She had already maxed out the levels and was fairly bored with it. I thought my how things have changed; When I was a kid Tonka trucks, hot wheels, and race tracks were in, and we could derive many hours of fun, from simple things. Things like cowboys and indians, and regular sports. Today kids, get bored and restless if they're not wired into a video game, and that enhances their cycle of excitement and subsequent boredom.  That is an entirely different topic that I could go on and on about it.

What will happen in the new year? Everybody likes to predict, like mini prophets, but change is elusive as it is unpredictable.

In light of the New Year, I wanted to pose a different topic, change, and the cycles of life. All much too vast to cover in a blog post but sufficient to help us as we take on the new year.   Emerson one of my favorite authors had this to say, "The eye is the first circle, the horizon which it forms is the second. This primary figure is rpeated without creed. We are all our lifetime reading th copious sense of this first of forms.

Life is a circle. We progress rise to new heights, and come full circle, then expand. This year I am challenged to dramatically expand my circle. Inherent in that circle is relentless and the incessant beat of change. The only question is whether we can adjust to it. Technology has taken over our society, but do we know how to really harness it to meet our goals, and satisfy our inner longings?

How will this change affect our jobs our occupation and economic security? http://www.coasttocoastam.com/show/2011/01/01

Technology has changed the way we work,the way we network and communicate, and the way we play. Ae you thinking out the implications of this in your business, and personal life? If your job is going to be outmoded by technology have you adjusted to that? I found an good blog that helps us to survive maybe even thrive on that change. Hope you willl go to.http://www.livingorsurviving.com/

We may not have a crystal ball, but we certainly have trends, and those that study  and apply those are personally are apt to benefit the most.

"Our life is a apprenticeship to the tuth, that around every circle another can be drawn. There are no fixtures n nature, the universe is fluid and volatile. Permanence is but a word of degrees"   (Essay First and Second Series) Ralph Waldo Emerson

This year I resolve to use the internet to help power some of the changes in business and networking, I hope you will do the same.
