5%

I was at the local Starbucks yesterday with a friend when I came across, The Way I See It #236 - "Scientists tell us we only use 5% of our brains. But if they only used 5% of their brains to reach that conclusion, then why should we believe them?"

This extreme wisdom explains the debates on such scientific issues as Evolution, Global Warming and the constant barrage of studies that say one food is good for you and then bad and then good and then, who cares. Eating nothing but chocolate bars will shorten your life span, however eating nothing at all will kill you faster. So what is healthier junk food or dieting. According to 5% of my brain - stick with the chocolate bars. I would love to hear from 5% of your brain.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING GOD?

I am doing something that I haven't done in a long time. I am reading through the Psalms on a regular basis. The thing that is hitting me about the psalms is how much raw emotion that you find there. I almost think that David is some kind of nut case. In Psalm 10 David asks God why does he hide himself in times of trouble? We all know that David is spouting bad theology here. God doesn't hide, but yet it is written right in the Scriptures, go figure. Then David in the same psalm says this,

"But you, God see the trouble of the afflicted, you consider their grief and
take it in hand. The victims commit themselves to you; you are the helper of the
fatherless."

I take comfort that God isn't threatened by emotional outbursts that question his actions or plans but that he waits for me to figure it out.
