As much as I don't like rules, I am glad that there are certain laws in the universe. Numbers is/are one of them. Add two evens, you always get an even. Same with two odds. But one of each will always get you an odd. Same with multiplication. Two evens=an even. Two odds=odd. But one of each equals an even. Strange, isn't multiplication just repeated addition? Next you're gonna tell me 2+2doesn't equal 4!
And just how much is infinity? Just when you think you've arrived, somebody comes along and adds one to it, and off you go. And how about infinitely small? 1/2 is more than 1/8, and the higher the denominator, the bottom number, the lower the number. And it used to be we had cars with engines measured in cubic inches, of which there is no substitute. Until we went metric, and the Chevy 327 became a 5.3 litre, the 350 a 5.6 and Ford's 351 a 5.7. Somehow a 5.0 Mustang sounds Ok, but I still prefer the 302. 6.6 or a 400? Thanks to Harley, the last motorcycle holdout, for staying with cubic inches. 96, 103, or a 110, that's still a lot of cc's! And who can remember when the "74" was the big engine? Now you can get it in a Sporty. And why is my 900 Scrambler only really 865cc's? When the Z-1 was 900 was really a 903? Who's really in charge here? Times change, but numbers don't. I think. Test-pick a number between 1 and 10-now remember it for later.
And just when you think you've got the numbers down, try spelling. Why isn't phonics spelled like it sounds? Why do we have i before e, but not after c? Why is a c pronounced like an s in cylinder, and like a k in cat? The answer-a man called Noah Webster, who took it upon himself to set up a system-his, to spell words uniformly. Before his 1828 dictionary, words were spelled like they sounded-sometimes, just like they tried to instill in some schools in the nineties, and gave us a generation who can't spell. And while watching a newscast on why the US is falling behind in education, they inadvertently showed E-bonics on the board. I thought we spoke English here, or is it American, since we are in America? Confused, or is it konfused? I guess it depends on when and where you went to school. And if you can remember high school as the best seven years of your life.
But somehow the truth is still the truth. And not to be confused with a truth. A truth is I like to ride motorcycles. The truth is Jesus is the only way to God. And cults like Mormons, Jehovah Witnesses, and others change a few words and alter the text of the Bible. Jesus isn't a way-He is the way! He isn't a God, He is God! And you MUST be born again to inherit the kingdom of God-it is not a suggestion. Just like a 900 cc piston won't fit in a 250cc hole, the truth is still and always will be the truth.
So whether you drive a 1964 1/2 Mustang-no such thing as all were titled as 1965's, or your 74 Pan Head motor is different from a 1200 Sportster, don't be misled. The truth is still the truth. Jesus Christ is God! Deny His deity, and you deny Him! God made it simple, so even guys like me could get it. I'm also glad He gave us eternity-an eternal right now. No past, no future-just now-forever. Try making an equation for that. Now+one still equals right now! Forever! So much for that old time/space continuum.
So go with the truth. Liars may figure, and figures lie, and do you want two, to go, or to go, too-the choice is yours. If you want two, is different than wanting to go to, and different than wanting to go, too. I will go to heaven, I hope you two, go too!
See you there. Now that we have this grammar and math thing down, here's the final. How many people does it take to change a light bulb? Answer-doesn't matter unless the bulb really wants to change!
Oh, and that number you picked-that wasn't it! Don't make the same mistake with God!
love with compassion,
Mike
