I Wonder

I wonder if the world is really billions and billions of years old, or only 8,000-10,000. God could have created it already old, I suppose.

I feel fortunate to live in America. I stand in deep wonder at old things. Real old REAL things,not things made up to look old.

I need to walk where Jesus walked. The VERY dirt. I wonder what a Sasquatch does for fun and what could possibly possess a man to climb a mountain? I feel like riding a horse. I feel a need to be nice,to be kind. I need to make every living person belly laugh for 2 minutes straight; kind of a 'wet your pants' type of laugh.

I am awed that I have 3 kids. I wonder what angels really look like? (I doubt they have wings). I feel sad for the folks that say, "If you are filled with the Holy Spirit, you WILL speak in tongues." They are missing the whole point of Christianity. And this holy laughter!? What's up with that?

I wonder if in Bible times they had out-houses or what? Must have gotten pretty ripe. I love to type. Why is it that most secretaries are women? Must be an ego thing for guys? I wonder what if feels like to drive a hydroplane or a jet? I need to learn more about showing total, unconditional love towards Christians. It's actually fairly easy to show unconditional love to non-Christians, but some Christians can just be butt heads.

I need to learn the correct way to feel comfortable returning something to a store. I wonder why some big companies still use shiny scotch tape. I wish I wasn't afraid of dark water. I wonder what the queen reads on the throne? I love storms, and I wonder if lightning really does go from the ground up.

I wonder if God smiles. If God is spirit and if we are made 'in His image' then??? Another one of those Mensa questions I suppose. I wonder how tall Goliath really was. I wonder why many people aren't as excited about the old Disney movie 'The Parent Trap' as I am. I wonder if I'll wonder where my kids are during the rapture. I wonder where my kids are right now; they should have been home already.

I wonder if there really IS an ozone layer, and if the greenhouse effect is really real. I wonder what it was like to be in a submarine during W.W.II. Must have been really frightening. I wonder why we sometimes put more credibility in books by Christian authors, than we do in the Bible?

I wonder if my mom and dad felt pain when they died. I wonder if they are still asleep or in Heaven cooking Sunday roast beef dinners for Jesus and John and Paul and Abraham. I wonder if the regular people in Heaven can see us? I don't think so, but I wonder. I wonder if they will ever stop making Tab? I wonder who 'they' are?

I wonder if the head Mormon guy really know he's propagating false doctrines, or if he really truly believes he's something special? I wonder how people could get sucked into the Ramptha thing, or sending Oral Roberts the $7 million he needed to get out of the prayer tower. (I was hoping God would just blast him a good one). Haven't heard from Robert Tilton lately. Wonder if he's in jail.

I wonder if Jim Bakker will ever be taken seriously again? I wonder why God heals some people and not others. If 2 people pray at the same time for different things (i.e. please God, make it sunny today)(please God, I need rain today), I wonder how God decides?

Do you wonder? You should. It opens up a new world of amazement and awe. It makes you appreciate how complex the world is, and weird and wonderful people are, and how powerful God is to have created us. It makes me feel puny and unimportant, and I guess maybe that's when God can really use us.
