We live in a Brave New World — brought to us by technology.
A friend traveling sent me a picture… and so, while sitting here in Lagos, I can peer through the clouds 5,000 km awayand watch the sun rise.
I stand in awe of engineers.
(Prince Philip once said: “Engineers — next only to God.” See link in comments.)
What is Engineering?
It is the application of truth to gain an advantage, Mechanical or Otherwise?
If we generalize that definition by removing the word mechanical,
then all believers - no matter their religion are, in fact, engineers.
Because they apply the timeless truths of faith in much the same way —
seeking to win an advantage, one way or another.
Religion, then, may be the ultimate engineering tool —
for it engineers the human soul,
and the human soul, in turn, has engineered this Brave New World…
…in which, sitting here in Lagos,
I can peer through the clouds 5,000 km away
and watch the sun rise.
Let me catch a little sleep now.
A long day lies ahead.
Thank You, Lord, for everything.
