Continued meditation brings great profit to the soul. Passant and transient thoughts are more pleasant, but not so profitable. Deliberate meditation is of most use because it secures the return of the thoughts. —Thomas Manton

Inauguration
"This half-meter resolution image of the United States Capitol, Washington D.C. was collected by the GeoEye-1 satellite on Jan. 20, 2009 to commemorate the Inauguration of President Barack Obama. The image, taken through high, whispy white clouds, shows the masses of people attending the Inaugural Celebration."
You should visit http://www.geoeye.com/CorpSite/gallery/detail.aspx?iid=220&gid=1 and download the high resolution image. Everyone looks like a pile of ants. Amazing...God sees every person, every ant, yet He is aware of the position of every single blade of grass, every movement of a spec of dirt. He knows every thought and guides every step simultaneously. His love abounds for the world and all of it's contents. Yea, His love can not be contained within this universe. He loved us so much that..."He gave His only begotten Son". He was crucified since the beginning of the world. God saw all that was to be and wrote the story to fulfill His glory. "He is before all things, and by him all things consist." From this view I see how insignificant we are. I can stand above an ant hill and see the same insignificance...yet we are the only part of creation created in His image. He calls us by name. What wondrous love is this...That my God would die for me? I pray then for our insignificant President, for our insignificant government, for our own insignificant efforts...but yet for our significant Church when empowered by the Spirit. "The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water: He turneth it withersoever He wills." God controls every ant. He is not amazed by an ant revolution. May our Father start a real revolution, a revolution of true love, a revolution not of this world, a revolution that shares with the world where true peace abounds. Even so, come soon King of Kings our Prince of Peace.
