Saucers

I always thought saucers were kind of useless.


They just sit under cups, and make them look...expensive.


But, once I starting using them, I realized just how important they are:
- They keep the table from becoming stained with coffee rings
- They catch spills from overly full coffee mugs
- They protect hands from heat when transporting the cup
- They provide a place to put a spoon once cream or sugar has been stirred in
- And least of all, they do add a sort of elegance to the cup


The same things goes with The Bible. We don't realize how important it is to our lives until we start using it, reading it, learning from it, abiding by it.


So my main point is, don't be stuck on the outside looking in. Use that saucer!


Ask Jesus into your life! Read the Bible!
You will find it to be the most useful tool of instruction on how to live a Godly, completely fulfilling, and beautiful life.


Don't hesitate. :)

God IS Bigger, He Really Is

Think about this for a second:

God created the tiniest microscopic organisms; he knows exactly what they look like and exactly how they function.

He created every blade of grass, every leaf on every tree.

He created all of the animals.

He created humans: me and you.

God also created planet Earth. Do you have any idea how big the Earth is?

Humans are nothing but tiny, little pinpricks on this gigantic globe.

Yet, the Earth is fairly small compared to the size of our Sun.

You can fit 1,300,000 Earths into the Sun.

Now how big do you feel?

Guess what? I'm not finished yet.

God created the Sun as well, which is actually a fairly small star.

The largest known star, VY Canis Majoris, can hold 10,000,000,000 of our Suns.

TEN freaking BILLION!

If that's not gargantuan, I don't know what is.

Hold up! I'm not even close to done yet.

The star VY Canis Majoris happens to only be a small, glowing speck compared to the size of a galaxy.

Do you know how big the galaxy is in which we live?

Our galaxy, The Milky Way, stretches 9x10¹⁷ km.

That's 900,000,000,000,000,000 kilometers across!

(I can't even say that number.)

There is one more phenomena that I must mention:

The Milky Way Galaxy is only one of a roughly estimated 500 billion other galaxies in the universe.

In other words, our galaxy is extremely small compared to the size of the universe!

So, how big do you feel now? ...That's what I thought. You feel like a nothing.

And just how big is our God? A measurement cannot be put on Him because he is infinitely big!

Yet, he cares about us, knows our names, and calls each and every one of us to him...individually.

If that's not love, I don't know what is.
