We do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against principalities against powers against the rule

About Me

"The design of the universe. is very magnificent and shouldn't be taken for granted." In fact, I believe that is why Einstein had so little use for organized religion, although he strikes me as a basically very religious man. He must have looked at what the preacher said about God and felt that they were blaspheming. He had seen much more majesty than they had ever imagined, and they were just not talking about the real thing. My guess is that he simply felt that religions he'd run across did not have proper respect. for the author of the universe."

My Interests

I sometimes wonder that the human mind, In searching for creation's hidden things, Should miss that high intelligence that springs From that which is not seen, but is divined. Does knowing much of nature make us blind To nature's better self? The Greek could see A conscious life in every stream and tree,— Some nymph or god. Our broader faith should find A life divine, whose fine pulsations roll In endless surges through the secret veins Of earth and sky, which hidden still remains Save to the instinct of the reverent soul; Should know that everything, from lowest sod To farthest star, thrills with the life of God. -Deus Immanens
