“Black Hole” - First Picture
“Can you fathom the mysteries of God?
Can you probe the limits of the Almighty?
They are higher than the heavens above—what can you do?
They are deeper than the depths below—what can you know?
Their measure is longer than the earth
and wider than the sea.
Job 11: 7-9 (NIV)
I had the wonderful opportunity to visit two centenarians this past weekend. Two women acquaintances, family and friend, in separate locations. Both were sitting patiently in their rooms with remarkably similar joys and concerns. It was a holy time.
They both have strong faiths that have sustained them and both shared a peaceful spirit. They loved the mutual stories of shared time and place. They had pleasure in the remembered love of their spouses. They loved being remembered.
The surprise was their confrontation with the mysteries of time. They “pondered” the meaning and reality of unlimited time. They looked forward and “wondered” about what lay beyond the mystery of their next transition. They both were excited about what that could mean.
So the message of this weekend was a continuation of the grace and mystery of time. We have been blessed and healed by the generous gift of time. It is the context for all of the healing that has and will occur.
Thanks be to God, the author of Time that has blessed all our lives,
Marvin
