indivisibility of atoms, where god came from, and the real measure of intelligence...

SERIOUS MATTER

"Where did God come from?" This question is probably one of the most mystifying questions of our faith. Who here can truly say that he knows where God came from? No one. Not even the wisest nor the holiest of all can give an answer that will satisfy the average person's thirst for knowledge. They say that because God is the ultimate being, nothing comes before Him. (Don't get me wrong; I am a Christian and I actively participate in church. This question more or less bugs us at a certain point, and I thought it would be best for me to let this out of my system.)

They also said the same thing about the atom. Remember John Dalton? One of the postulates of his atomic theory was that the atom was indivisible. Some time after, the modern atomic theory was 'concocted'. Now, that old postulate of Dalton has been disproved. Thanks to nuclear fission, the atom can be divided.

Let's shift our attention to other religions. Most of them are somewhat a collection of ideals formulated by a person (for example Buddha... no offense). What if history repeats itself? What if our religion was just an idea of a person, a way of giving hope to the people?

Think about it.

SERIOUS MATTER

Are grades/numbers really a measure of intelligence?

No.

We all know for a fact that there are basically two kinds of students: the ones who aren't really that intelligent but are very industrious (people at the top of the honors list, usually), and the ones who have been graced with talent but seem to lack a sense of responsibility (the nobodies... hehe). From that statement alone, you can all deduce what I mean.

The real measure of intelligence (for me, again) is not the grades. It's not the genius in a person either. It's how people use that genius. Everyone has an Einstein inside of them, not everyone uses it, though.

You may have been showered with artistic ability, but do you use it to your advantage? You may have been given an analytical mind, but do you apply it in school or work? You may have received "God's voice", but do you share it with everyone else?

Think about it.

kanta para sa iyo, kung nasaan ka man (asar ka, hahaha)

Do I Make You Proud

Taylor Hicks

I've never been

The one to raise my hand

That was not me

And now that's who I am

Because of you

I am standing tall

My heart is full

Of endless gratitude

You were the one

The one to guide me through

Now I can see

And I believe

It's only just beginning

This is what we dream about

But the only question with me now

Is do I make you proud

Stronger than I've ever been now

Never been afraid of standing out

Do I make you proud

I guess I’ve learned

To question is to grow,

That you still have faith,

Is all I need to know,

I’ve learned to love,

Myself in spite of me,

And I’ve learned to

Walk on the road I believe.

Everybody needs to rise up

Everybody needs to be loved

To be loved

Everybody need to rise on

Everybody needs to be loved, to be loved

This is what we dream about

But the only question with me now

Is do I make you, do I make you proud

This is what we dream about

Never been afraid of standing out

Do I make you proud

Stronger than I've ever been

Never been afraid of standing out

Do I make you proud

Do I make you proud
