Both my teaching and my research make me a heavy user of computers. This quote puts it all in perspective, though. Computers are tools, nothing more.
I heard this quote at a conference I attended. It seemed to perfectly
express the contrast between our mundane pursuits and the creative beauty
and worldwide concern of God.
I heard this quote at a conference and it really struck me as an important
truth that is often forgotten by the modern university. Too often, we forget
the students whose lives we are impacting and instead think that our real
purpose at the university is to teach computing, or history, or physics.
When we start thinking that way, students can get trampled in the rush.
I like this quote because it expresses my feelings about mornings so well. I am just not awake when I first wake up. Evenings are another matter entirely. And my husband still marvels at how cheerfully I can get up early in the morning to go birding. But most of the time, this verse sums it up perfectly.
This just sums up the purpose of Jesus' death so beautifully! Jesus had to die because SOMEONE had to pay the price for our rebellion against God, in this way justice was maintained. Jesus had to die because he was the ONLY one for whom paying that price meant anything less than eternal separation from God, in this way, WE were shown mercy.
