The Knowledge of the Holy

So I am involved in a book club called Launching Pad. It is called launching pad because it is launching us into the college world.
Anyway. We just had our second meeting last Saturday to discuss our latest book The Knowledge of the Holy by A.W. Tozer. (I strongly recommend that you read it.) The whole book is about God's attributes and us trying to understand them better.
One of the chapters is called God's Infinitude. This quote is from the book, "Infinitude, of course, means limitlessness, and it is obviously impossible for a limited mind to grasp the Unlimited." "...to say that God is infinite is to say that He is measureless." That brings me to the thought that I wanted to say to whoever reads this.
I was at the Creation Museum on Sunday and went to the planetarium there. Just to see and hear all about space and all the different stars and galaxies was amazing!! But even more amazing than that was knowing that the God I serve is infinitely bigger than all of that!! How amazing is that!! YET! He is every where at one time.
There's another quote that I like from the chapter The Divine Omniscience, " God knows instantly and effortlessly all matter and all matters, all mind and every mind, all spirit and all spirits, all being and every being, all creaturehood and all creatures, every plurality and all pluralities, all law and every law, all relations, all causes, all thoughts, all mysteries, all enigmas, all feeling, all desires, every unuttered secret, all thrones and dominions, all personalities, all things visible and invisible in heaven and in earth, motion, space, time, life, death, good, evil, heaven, and hell." Knowing all of that just puts me in more awe of Him!

Poem

This is my rhyming poem that I had to write for school. I am very excited that I finished it so i decided to post it on my blog for it to be official that it's done!


Golden leaves are falling
Playful birds are twittering
Chilly winds are coming
Is it Autumn today?
Warm fires are crackling
Colorful kites are flying
Fluffy coats are zipping
Is it Autumn today?
Footballs spiraling are spinning
Tasty hot chocolates are steaming
Excited football fans are cheering
It is Autumn today.

I hope that I did alright. Thanks for reading!
