Before we go any further – let’s look at each of us individually – and collectively. You see, no matter our age or our station in life – all of (well, most of us) fall into patterns of behavior and activity – and the schedule and pattern which we follow – seldom leaves us time to ‘Wonder & Wander’.
What a shame that is – Let’s make time!!
That does not necessarily mean going to foreign shores – but most often done in our minds.
I firmly believe that most of us ignore two wonderful aspects of life:
God gave us a beautiful mind – to use!
God gave us a world to ponder, explore, and wonder ….
In the midst of all this turmoil around us – He actually deposited us in a magnificent world – full of mystery, puzzles, and wondrous things to behold.
To wonder about them – opens our minds to all the magical things to explore on this planet we have inherited –
So, let’s continue with the mystery of the sphinx. To the shallow thinker – it is just a goofy statue in the desert – not to waste time thinking about it.
But for you, it holds mysteries beyond our capability to understand – but that is what sets you apart from so many – to use the mind that God gave you to ..’Wonder and wander”.
1st mystery – Why was it built –
What was the purpose of such a gigantic structure in the desert?
No one knows!
2nd mystery – How in the world was it built?
Modern engineers have publicly stated that with the most modern equipment available – they could not duplicate it.
3rd Mystery – When was it constructed?
‘Experts’ disagree – they disagree by a margin of 10,000 years!
For centuries it was covered by sand – only the head was visible. No one knew anything about it.
4th Mystery – Who built it?
Again ‘Experts’ disagree – there is credible evidence that point back to a period of time – when history tells us –there were no humans on the planet – then – Who built it?
Now, this little blurb I am sending to you is not meant to explain the sphinx – but only to encourage you to let your mind – ‘Wonder & Wander’
What a glorious world God has deposited us in – full of mysteries and majesty.
Don’t you feel a bit sad for the individuals who do not ‘Wonder & Wonder?’
So much to ponder – the majesty and grandeur of life!
Happy Wondering & Wandering !!!!
Your Loving Poppa
