Ah yes.......SNOW!

As I made my was this past Thursday from Harrisburg to Pittsburgh there is a long winding hill up the side of the mountain onto the Somerset Plateau via the PA Turnpike tunnel leading out onto the plateau. Rain and fog in the valley...........freezing rain and glaze ice met us as we all skated out of the tunnel onto the plateau......

Isn't that nice? There's one stretch out in Lancaster that'll snow like crazy, hi winds, blizzard conditions where you have to pull over because you can't see to drive. That stretch is only 20 miles or so and either side has not one flake on the ground.

Yesterday, I was in West Virginia helping my Dad move (no problems, thank goodness) and I was walking around in a t-shirt. :?

Obviously, being from Texas, I'm not nearly as articulate as you gentleman. I would simply like to ad that to me, the word faith by definition, means to believe, sometimes in the absence of scientific proof. I don't need scientific proof.

I see God's work all around me each day. I see in in birth and in death. I see it in the weather and on this earth. I see God's work in the heavens. I'd like a scientist to explain to me exactly where the heavens end? When I look at the stars each night, where do they stop? Is there a wall at the end of the stars? Some things simply defy explanation and can't be comprehended by our finite minds.

Being Southern by the Grace of God, I suspect that you are not only as articulate, but quite eloquent. Someone, although I do not remember now who, said, when asked where God is, replied, stating, "Show me where he is not.".

"Where He is not: That is the definition of hell."
That, of course, would be true. I think the fellow meant in this world.

Hi Tim; yeah, it's a struggle ... today's day-time high now almost 80 degrees, annoyingly warm for this time of year. cj

No one ever answered my question Cappy. I'm looking at the pictures you posted wondering.....Ok, there are the heavens.....how far do I have to go to hit the wall at the end of that sky? How many lifetimes at lightspeed travel would it take to get there? It goes on forever right? What's forever? I guess you just have to BELIEVE that it's infinite and goes on forever. I have FAITH that it does. What's infinite? :wink: :D Any scientists know where the end of that sky is?

I love each and every one of ya, and wish you all a very blessed, safe and prosperous New Year,

West

Hi West and Happy New Year to you too. I personally don't think there's a physical limit; I think we could drive all night with extra beer and still not get there. :wink: cj

You're getting into it deep, West, even without snow in Texas. Obviously, I do not have an answer to your question, just more questions: If the universe does end, what is next to it? How far does that go? I personally see no point to it going on forever, but who am I to question the Creator? I'm certainly no greater than Job. We tend to think of eternity as forever...endless time. But I believe that God is outside of time ( a day is as a thousand years... Christ was the savior before the creation... etc.) So I think the boundry of the universe, forever time, and programming a VCR will all be revealed when we finally go home. That's good enough for me.

I pray that you have a blessed New Year that finds you deeper in Love every day.


Hows that bed pan working out??? :mrgreen:

West: Haven't you ever read "The Restaurant At The End Of The Universe" / "Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy"? :wink:

There's food there?? That's it....I'm going! Nothing like an astroburger and a Milky Way malt!

Isn't it funny, VCR's are just about completly outdated and yet the majority of the universe still doesn't know how to program one. :lol:

Hey LV...Orion...that's just north of Detroit? I lived over at Selfridge for 5 years ending 2006. Should have had a Michigan get-together...seems like half of the forum lives there.


Of course, next summer please.
