I was really busy yesterday and having a blast the entire day that I forgot to post here.
To start off, I got baptized around noonish. I was raised Catholic all of my life until the past couple of months. It maybe around a year or two now, not sure. Anyway, I went to a Christian church with my friends and went to all sorts of summer church camps with them. I went to one two weeks ago and in the middle of it, I decided to get baptized. The reason I waited so long after camp was because I knew my mom would have to be there, and my girlfriend as well. It was an awesome start to a new day, life, whatever. You get the jist of it.
So then later I went to St. Louis with Leah to get her a new computer. She already had a computer but it broke. Originally they priced the repair at $600ish (which is not cool at all) but then they said since it was less than 14 days, then they would just give her a new one!
God is good...
All of the time...
And all of the time...
God is good!

You have tons of things that are starting to go right and then you take one more step and you get plastered with things going wrong.
Life...
It's really goofy sometimes. It will never be completely figured out.
Weird...

A little more about Earth... |

A new look at the Earth for you?
Well, if the first post didn't do anything for you, then maybe this one will help you a little more. Everybody knows about how the ground settles in layers. You may think that it happened over thousands of years, gradually building up and slowly adding more layers. Well, that's partly true. Yes, the further you go down, the more pressure is on it and maybe making it a different density and even a different color.
Now here's where things will start to change a bit. If layers settle over time, then there would have to be erosion. Every natural thing on Earth erodes over time from wind, rain, etc. So keeping this in mind, all of the layers would have to line up perfectly without any signs of erosion. (There is no erosion to be found between layers.) So, how did these layers come to be without erosion in between them?
Experiment:
Get a bottle and fill it with at least 5 different kinds of dirt, sand, and other different looking dirts. Pour lots of water in the bottle and shake like mad. Then let it settle. What do you see? Most of the dirt has been seperated in layers.
Just like how the Earth has layers. So the answer is a flood. To be more exact, Noah and the Ark.
There was a huge flood one time on Earth which almost completely covered the entire Earth with water. Everything got shaken up because of all of the tides. Then when the flood started to go away, there was settled dirt left over.
An awesome example of this is the Grand Canyon. You may not think of this as a really good example, but many people think they know how it was formed. Ton's of people think the Colorado River ran through it and over thousands of years, eventually eroded away the dirt leaving a huge canyon.
Two really big problems.
One. The canyon gets higher the further the river flows through it. So if the river were to flow through it, then water would have to travel uphill. Which we all know doesn't. The water would have to go uphill and erode the canyon and keep this up for thousands of years.
Two. Everytime a river erodes through something, it has to put the dirt somewhere. Well this is the GRAND canyon, so there has to be a crazy amount of dirt that has to dissappear somewhere. This usually happens when it reaches a lake or ocean. This pileup of dirt is called a delta. The only problem with the Grand Canyon is that there is no delta at the end of the Colorado when it empties out into the Gulf of California.
To sum it up.
Huge flood (the flood with Noah).
Dries up leaving layers of dirt in Earth and the actual canyon.
Colorado River (made of water) runs down and through it.
I can still go further but I'm getting tired of writing. If you want to know a little more about this, just comment and I'll send you some more information about all of this.

So life in itself is a complete miracle. How every little event and moment in time represents a significant part in life. Many of these are unnoticed. For instance, if something they don't know about happens, they aren't affected. However, if someone or something changes just slightly, then life will never be the same.
Let's take Earth for a good example.
Earth, third planet from the sun spinning at 18 miles per second which helps keep it in orbit around the sun. If this were to be changed by one tenth of a mile, then the Earth would either be in the middle of the sun or past the orbit of Pluto. The daylight and the nightime would be changing so much that it would cause the Earth to overheat and eventually freeze or blow up.
If there was no moon, then the tides would seise to be which would cause the flow of the oceans to stop. When this stops, warm water will not be carried to the caps while the cold water goes to the equator. This would lead to eratic temperatures all over the world and would not be fit for human survival.
If the world were one degree closer to the sun, then the temperature would be so radical that it couldn't support human life. The temperatures would be extreme and every passing day, the Earth would get closer to the sun. The days would become shorter and everyday would become hotter while the nights got cooler.
If the Earth was one degree further, then we would drift away and slam into Mars and the Earth would become a solid block of ice.
If the amount of oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere were to be changed by one percent, then the plants wouldn't get enough carbon dioxide and they would eventually die. Also, our atmosphere would dissipate right before us because of the lack of carbon dioxide in the air.
All of these things could happen at anytime by a freak accident. All of these things were said to "just be here" at the beginning of time. There are so many more questions about the start of the universe that no one knows where to begin.
All of these take place hour, day, month, year...forever.
Earth is a miracle in itself.
Never judge what you don't see.
