There is virtue in work and there is virtue in rest. Use both and overlook neither. (Alan Cohen)
Thinking about the musings from Day 90: Does Anyone Know What Astronomy Is?...
I would submit to you that it is important to take some rest.
Just like the 13th week winding down at school, week 13 is winding down here. I end with the quote: “I will give you Sunday’s off, it’s a God thing….”
The more I think about it, I don’t really know if it is really just a ‘God thing’. I mean, don’t animals, insects, birds, plants, the rest of Mother Nature and even Atheists, believe in the importance of rest? Whether they think it’s a ‘God thing’ or not, rest is necessary for all of us on this Earth, to restore, and to rejuvenate, our hearts, minds, bodies and souls. I think, most importantly, because Monday’s can be brutal, on a good Monday….
Bottom line no matter where you stand on the issue of God…get some rest.
Spend some time if you want to do some reviewing, reflecting, and/or meditating, on the week that has just ended. To be mindful perhaps of the from last week:
DAY 85: The Scientific Revolution – Part 3 – E = mc2 +/- 1. – There are at least 5 documented instances of where humans were able to manipulate the speed of light. These discoveries in the 1990’s, 2011, 2015 and 2016, have put Einstein’s theory of relativity and force into question;
DAY 86: The Scientific Revolution – Part 3 – What Missing Link? – One of the flaws with Darwin’s Theory of Evolution is the absence of the ‘missing link’ between apes and humans. In fact, there is a strong case to be made that based off of logic and science, there never was a ‘missing link’ in the first place;
DAY 87: The Scientific Revolution – Part 3 – What Missing Link? – Conclusion. – From ‘Java Man’ to ‘handy man’, here are 7 examples throughout history to where the ‘missing link’ eventually falls short. Once science is applied to all of these examples, the ‘missing link’ remains…missing;
DAY 88: Science…Fact Or Fiction? – After reviewing the scientific inconsistencies discovered by humans in the field of astronomy and biology from previous posts, it begs the question: is there anywhere where science is in fact consistent? There is a strong case that needs to be presented showing that the Holy Bible does in fact provide scientific consistency for both biology and astronomy, and 6 other branches of science as well;
Day 89: The Science…Can It Be Settled…Once And For All? – Historically speaking, the Holy Bible has been known as a collection of religious texts and scriptures, an anthology, that contains instructions, stories, poetry, and prophecies respected and considered sacred by followers of Judaism and Christianity as well as many other religions. With an estimated 5 to 7 billion copies sold over a 1500 year period, the Holy Bible also contains scientific certainties covering 8 branches of science…if you know where to look;
Day 90: Does Anyone Know What Astronomy Is? – The first branch of science to be covered that is contained in the Holy Bible is astronomy. One must read no further than Genesis 1:1 to see the definition of astronomy.
Are you ready to get some rest?
Do not feel discouraged if you don’t know how to rest. Do not feel discouraged if you power down your mind and body that wishes to forge ahead, so many things to do, so little time. Instead, embrace the idea that rest is rejuvenating. Embrace the idea that rest restores and recharges. 10-15 minutes. Do nothing regarding the upcoming workweek…for 10-15 minutes. Then, 7 days later, extent your rest time out 5 minutes. Deep breathing exercises. Simple yoga poses. Watching cute little puppies on your social media feed. All unrelated to work and your job(s). Something, some things, to clear your mind.
32 And they departed into a desert place by ship privately. (Mark 6:32 KJV)
Was today’s blog a little confusing at times? Was the content perhaps a little overwhelming? Did you feel lost not understanding some or most of the subject matter?
Those feelings are totally understandable and it is ok to have one or more of those feelings. Remember that you are reading Day 91: Rest…Relax…Reflect.
If you haven’t been in class since the first day of school…or when the project began…or when the contract was first signed, etc., these feelings make perfect and logistical sense.
Please feel free to go back to where all of this began:
