"For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach." -- J.R.R. Tolkien

World Views

A world view is an often misunderstood concept that has more importance to what each person believes, and how they form all of their actions and ethical underpinnings.  Each person possesses a world view whether or not they realize it, from which they derive all of their beliefs about the world, people, culture, politics and other significant issues.


Due to the sheer significance of the world view concept, I would challenge you to understand your own world view, because it will allow you to better understand yourself and your place in the world.


I will proceed to layout my own world view, in as concise a manner as I can, primarily as an example, but also to allow reader's a glimpse into my own thoughts.

Welcome to tomorrow!

 The US Air Force wrapped up testing of a reusable space-craft last year, presumed to be exclusively for reconnaissance.  This type of spacecraft is certainly the future of our access to the stars, and for now this step is the beginning of a new generation of space-faring craft.

Quote for today

"I think I see the conflict in the great arena of the universe. Man piles a mountain of sin, but God will match it, and he upheaves a loftier mountain of grace; man heaps up a still huger hill of sin, but the Lord overtops it with ten times more grace; and so the contest continues till at last the mighty God plucks up the mountains by the roots and buries man's sin beneath them as a fly might be buried beneath an Alp. Abundant sin is no barrier to the superabundant grace of God."    - - C. H. SPURGEON
