(Link to our RV Travels)

I created this site so I could keep a collection of knowledge and wisdom passed down to me. I hope you enjoy.

   "There are three things that last forever: faith, hope, and love;
but the greatest of them all is love.”

GOD IS LOVE

Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self-control

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Thoughts on Science

The Big Bang theory states that the universe was formed from pure energy. Experimental physics has shown that a symmetry in the laws of nature causes energy to form matter and antimatter in equal proportions. For the universe to exist, for about every billion pair of quarks and anti-quarks in the big bang, there was 1 extra quark, and that allowed matter to be created.  Some might call that a miracle :-)

(in case you are wondering about quarks,  :-)  .. Atoms are composed of particles called protons, electrons and neutrons.
Protons and neutrons are both composed of other particles called quarks and gluons.)

If the rate of expansion 1 second after the big bang had been smaller by even one part in 100 thousand million million, the universe would have re-collapsed.

The e=mc2 formula shows that mass can be converted into energy, and energy can be converted into mass

Number of the stars in the universe, (300 sextillion) 3 trillion times 100 billion

The observable universe is calculated to be 14.3 billion parsecs (about 46.6 billion light years)

Astronomers think that there are hundreds of billions galaxies in the universe (there are about 10,000 galaxies visible.)

 There are between 200-400 billion stars in the Milky Way.

 

Are we going through life in a state of wonder, being continuously grateful and appreciative? Are we giving thanks every day for the multitude or miracles we constantly see appearing before our eyes?

True peace consists in not separating ourselves from the will of God.

Who did I help today?

Decide, Commit, Succeed (get a clear picture in your mind of what you want to accomplish, remind yourself every day)

You don't attract into your life what you want, you attract into your life what you are. In order to achieve more, you must first become more.

Our life is what our thoughts have made it. If you change your thoughts, you change your life. So focus on the limitless universe and your willingness to give blessings and helping others. Be on the side of the Angels.

Stay aware of your thoughts. Are you thinking of the future, the past, or the present. You can only change the present, so stay in the NOW.

                   7 rules for financial success:

1. Save 10% of everything you make
for retirement. 10% short term savings
10% to charity. Live off 70%

2. Create and follow budget to make sure you never exceed 90% max spending.
3. Invest your savings, compound interest. (rule of 72)
4. Don’t lose money. Be careful about investments. Small safe investment.. ( security vs larger earnings)
5. Own your own home ….off the 70% left over,, you should buy a house you can easily afford so you can pay it off early.
6. Insure a future income. ( as soon as you own your own home, buy rental property )
7. Increase your ability to earn. ( increase your skills with books and classes)

The Watch

        A man (let us say me) is walking down a trail where no man had previously been. He looks down and sees a Rolex watch lying on the ground next to an acorn, so he picks up the watch, and thinks;   “surely there must have been a watchmaker, as this has hundreds of moving parts, so could not have been created by accident”.  But the hand that picked up the watch is so very much more complex. The human genome contains more than 3.4 billion base pairs.  The atoms in the hand are intern made of quarks, and all the matter in his hand is really just energy according to this guy called Einstein.  J     And the odds of the universe exploding from pure energy in the exact timing  with exact proportions of matter and antimatter  to expand  in a big bang so we even  exist in the 46 billion light-year size “known” universe,  in one of the hundreds of billions galaxies,  each having hundreds of billions of stars,  that happens to house  a  star  we call the Sun,  and that star  having a planet  with  just the right distance from that it supports life,  so we could pick up the watch, are so infinitesimal,  that most cannot comprehend odds like that.  I know I can’t. J  So I bend back down, put down the watch,   pick up the acorn and plant it in the soft dirt, where that 1 small acorn can grow into an infinite number of forests.    (Ok, I really take the watch to a pawn shop, but you get my point)   J

 

So that is just 1 reason why I believe in God.
