Don't Lose the Mystery

               Life is full of mystery. Often as humans, we are tempted to believe that we have or can have everything figured out. Many people devote their lives to the pursuit of knowledge and discovery through the sciences and research. I think that everyone, in their own way, does devote their lives to learning and discovering truth. But, in the midst of this pursuit, we cannot forget the mystery of life. It's an interesting balance between knowing and understanding that we don't know. That's what makes life exciting!

               Here's where I got the idea for the name:
[Psalm 19:1-2] "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge."

[Romans 11:33-34] "Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out! 'Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?'"
My physics professor read Psalm 19 today and mentioned something about the mystery of life. And that's when it hit me, the perfect title! Everything around us declares something about God and tells a story, but often we try to analyze things to death... I'm not saying that analysis and scientific discovery are bad things; in fact the realm of science is very near and dear to me. Sometimes we just forget to revel in the beauty and complexity of existence!

               So, this is my attempt to share with you my thoughts and experiences while on this never-ending journey to find glimpses of truth in everyday things and learn from everyone and everything around me. And in the end, if just one person reads this and is impacted because of my writing, it will all be worth it.
