I was looking through our picture file thinking about the topic of energy and how that word can be perceived in so many different ways. Energy can relate to fossil fuels, renewable resources like solar or wind power. It can be linked at the quantum level to the existence of everything vibrating at different frequencies. In this moment of time, for me it has a connection to my physical energy, or it reduction due to the pharmaceutical that was injected into my body a couple of days ago. Yes, I did give permission for this one time only event, as a stop gap, ahead of surgery in the future. One of the side effects is weariness.
I was thinking about the energy our border collie, Diamond, demonstrates on a regular daily basis. Add to this a sanguine personality and there is always something to be happy, excited and energetic about for her.
Then I came across this picture from a number of years ago. You find Chester the cat, Sandi the retriever mix with poor hips and Coby, the Lasapo cuddled together. Coby is the only one of this group still alive. What you see in this picture is one of his favourite activities. Energy conservation is certainly displayed with this group, but not with our current border collie.
The concept of energy is something which causes uneasiness, perhaps even some fear for some followers of Jesus. There is even an element of avoidance that may be exhibited. From my perspective, universal Biblical truth aligns with science and is something we should endeavour to be at least knowledgeable enough about to be relevant to those we speak with in our world.
My wife just came through the office to say she was heading out the door and listed all the things she is looking to do in the next twenty-four hours. My goal was to simply finish the writing of this article, in this moment of time, and then find a pillow and my lazy boy chair. I am wanting my higher energy levels back sooner, rather than later. Until tomorrow, . . . zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
