Live without it

A spiritual seeker interrupted a busy life to spend a few days in a monastery. 'I hope your stay is a blessed one,' said the monk who showed the visitor to his cell. 'If you need anything, let us know and we'll teach you how to live with it.'
P.45, Philip Yancey, 'Prayer: Does it make any difference?'

Forgiveness

“A human being is not someone who once in a while makes a mistake, and God is not someone who now and then forgives. No, human beings are sinners and God is love.”
Phillip Yancey, Prayer, P.27

Einstein's Relativity

Been listening and watching some really fascinating stuff about the theory of relativity. If you're interested in exploring it more I recommend ...
Einstein's Relativity and the Quantum Revolution from 'The Teaching Company' which is 23 x 30 minute lessons.
Or check out from your local DVD store the DVD 'What the Bleep!? - Down the Rabbit Hole" for a fascinating exploration of the world we live in. (Note: Be a bit careful with this, some pseudo science from a particular religous veiwpoint, but there are some really interesting bits of science explained.)
