ASTROPHYSICS ????

My son Caleb handed me this book today and said……”here dad you will like this.”

I looked at the book and the author is one of my favorites….. Dr. Hugh Ross.

The book is Beyond The Cosmos or “The Extra-Dimensionality Of God”.

So this week I dive into learning about astrophysics. Or should I say I’ll give it my best shot.

Dr. Ross’s web site is: http://www.reasons.org/

In this scientific and devotional book, Hugh Ross explains how phenomena that seem impossible in the four-dimensional world become comprehensible when examined in the context of extra-dimensional reality. He presents what science has learned about extra dimensions and relates these findings to difficult doctrines—the Incarnation, the Atonement, the Trinity, free will and predestination, the new creation, hell, and other issues—that have perplexed believers and unbelievers for centuries.  (taken from reasons web site)

I think it is a really cool stage in my life when my son is suggesting books for me to read….awesome !

THE LAST LECTURE

I just watched the “last lecture” video on youtube by professor Randy Pausch, 47, of Carnegie Mellon University who just recently died of cancer.
My favorite quote during the lecture: “The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out; the brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. The brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They are there to stop the other people!” – from The Last Lecture


Another great quote: “…experience is something you get when you don’t get what you want.”
If you have ever faced a great challenge in your life, this lecture is well worth the time to watch.
