“Hey,” called my
eight-year-old son from the back of the van. “Did you know that
some stars are so far away that by the time the light reaches you,
the stars have already burned up?” He was paraphrasing from the
Charlie Brown's Encyclopedia he was reading. I knew which book he
was reading because that same boy left that same book in the
bathroom the night before and I happened to peruse that same
page.
I love those pieces of
trivia that boggle the mind, that are so tricky to wrap your mind
around.
How is it that I can
really physically see something that really physically doesn't exist?
And that by the time I could know it doesn't exist, neither would I?
It seems to me that the
opposite is also true. That there are “things” that really exist
that really can't be seen. Things work out “inexplicably.” Events come
together to create a new reality that no one would have expected.
Good arises from terrible. Just because the Source cannot be
described physically does not mean it doesn't exist, in the same way
that just because I can see a star does not mean that it does exist.
Now faith
is being sure of what we hope for
and
certain of what we do not see.
Hebrews
11:1
