Did You Know?
Did you know the world’s most complex computers would become overloaded if they had to deal with the amount of information your eyes, nose, ears, taste, and sense of touch send your brain every minute? You are an amazing creation.
Words to Treasure
Older people aren’t the only ones who are wise. They aren’t the only ones who understand what is right.
Job 32:9
This time when the drooling glob monster from Andromeda comes into the space station, Andy won’t open the escape hatch door, because he and the glob monster will both get sucked out to certain outer-space death. How does he know this? Because last time that’s what happened. Andy learned from his computer-world mistake the first time around.
But is that always true in real life? Do we always learn from our mistakes the first time? Sadly not. Although the consequences in real life may not be death by space exposure, that’s not the point. Sometimes we do the same wrong thing over and over again. We make the same bad choices, such as not doing our homework, skipping our chores, not phoning home, or worse. So much so that sometimes teachers, parents, friends, and coaches may question our intelligence. Learning from our mistakes the first time saves us future problems and is part of that important thing called wisdom. It’s okay to make mistakes — that’s life. But making the same mistake over and over makes you just about as smart as a glob monster. And God made you smarter than that. Learn the first time, just like you do in a computer game.
