It appears the LHC has successfully completed its first test and everything seems to be cool so far... Google has created this cool and funny logo to celebrate our survival I guess! ;)It's too bad the Americans are no longer the leader in particle physics anymore... we could've built a better collider earlier if it weren't for the cancelled budget by the Congress. Government really should've spend more on research such as these rather than on wars... if it's a just and necessary war such as WWII, sure, I'm all for war, but when other options are available, we really shouldn't have jumped into a war. We had bogus intelligence and we under-estimated the effort of this Iraq war... result of course ended up disasterous...
Today's reading was about David's other major sin... which was his senseless census of his worldly strength. Being so prosperous, instead of counting his blessings and leaning on God in heaven more, David went ahead to count his worldly strength on earth more. It's really too bad that ordinary citizens had to suffer because of David's mistakes... just as American soldiers had to die senselessly sometimes because of President Bush's mistake. Oh well. Hopefully we'll all learn our lessons. I think David wrote Psalm 30 during that period... at least we've learned that God's anger is only momentary, but His love is forever. Likewise although we may weep thru the nite, but kvel will come in the morning! ;)
Moral of the story, no matter what happens, God will make everything work out in the end. Of course during this learning process, we have the option to do it the easy way... or the hard way. May we all be able to learn things the easy way rather than the hard way. One certain way to achieve that is to never be forgetful about God! Yeah, our memory could fade on other things, just try never to forget about God, okay?
