Life takes GUTs....

The intricacy and unity of the universe is one of the coolest and most amazing things to think about. It's funny how many things "matter but don't" (but do). The strong force keeps the very nuclei of atoms from ripping themselves apart, but acts over distances so short that it's undetectable on macroscopic scales. Gravity holds the galaxies in clusters, but is weak enough in everyday life to be bested, at least temporarily, by a little girl jumping or tossing her doll.
Life is the same. We eat, we sleep, we fight, we play. At the end of it all, the only thing that really matters is what we do with the priceless gift of salvation offered by God's Son, Jesus. But the little things on this side still matter. They can draw people to Jesus or help them find reasons to back away. They can show growth of character or the onset of compromise. The "equations" you live by can unify or unravel in an inconsistent mess...
