South Canadian Valley Church of Christ c/o Larry Minson 1525 Oakhurst Ave. Norman, Ok. 73071

Verse: Psalm 144:4 Man is like a breath; his days are like a fleeting shadow. Thought: Time is so precious — time with our families, our children, our parents, our friends, as well as our brothers and sisters in Christ. How do you in-vest your time? Where do you invest it? You know, it's really more valua-ble than the money we invest. Once it's gone, it can't be reclaimed. So as you begin each day, ask God that you will be able to "know the time," to see it for what it is and to use it

for its greatest good. Time passes quickly, and like the shadows of early evening, it's not long before it is ab-sorbed into the gathering darkness of night. Prayer: Eternal God, please give me the wis-dom to use the time given me today to do what is best, right, good, and profitable. I want to invest my time in what is truly enduring. Please help me use my time to influence and to bless all those with whom I interact so that they are brought closer to you. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

(continued from page 5) can be solved. These problems forced me to consider values that my mind could conceptualize, but could not truly apprehend. I can work with the concept of infinity, but there is no number that I can not add one to and not get the next number. I never actually get to infinity. Mathematically the principles and theorems appear to work even though some of the values are theoretical. The truth laid out in the mathematics of Calculus and other higher math systems can model anything in the physical world. For all of humanity time has always existed. When Adam was created from the dust of the Earth, time had already been set in motion. But here, at the beginning, God already exists. Our minds can not apprehend the idea of infinity outside of time, let alone completely grasp the infinite mind or power of God. Be-cause we can not completely understand the Creator it does not change the truth of His existence or the fact that He is the ulti-mate Truth. Even though our minds can not completely understand forever we have a promise that it is there and that God has been making preparations to make it special for all who will answer His call. John 14:1-3 "Let not your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many dwelling plac-es; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also." (NAS) Grace & Peace, Mike

(continued from page 4) were born or conceived, we all have a beginning. Before that time we did not exist. Though our lives have a beginning we are not finite. For good or for ill we will live forever either in Heaven with Jesus or in Hell apart from Him. Those are the two choices - period. Our minds are currently finite as well. I've studied some fairly complex mathematics. In some problems the only way to make the solution work is to define the data as it approaches infinity or zero. Division by zero is, of course, not possible. But by defin-ing the value of the problem at these critical points, the problem
