Meditation on Light
August 8, 2010
became a scientist because over and over, when I was a child, a teenager, and a college student, I experienced the sheer delight that comes with understanding the amazing physical mechanisms that are at work in our universe. For me, this delight came because the universe is not only understandable, but elegant, with just a few physical principles giving rise to the behavior of atoms, galaxies, and everything in between.

You Are the Sun
August 1, 2010
Sara Groves’s song “You Are the Sun” is, quite simply, one of the best songs I’ve heard. It is built around an extraordinarily rich metaphor: Jesus Christ as the sun and the singer as the moon. The lyrics explore the many facets of the metaphor, and as they do so, resonate with manifold Scriptural images of Jesus and his people (not to mention the rhyme between sun and Son), from the Psalms to Revelation.
