The Thinklings

"Membership in the family of God is neither inconsequential or something to be casually ignored. The church is God's agenda for the world. Jesus said, "I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it." The church is indestructable and will exist for eternity. It will outlive this universe, and so will your role in it."

I Can Make Things Happen (With My Mind)

Driving around town this afternoon, I was punching every button on my car radio's presets and simply not liking anything I was hearing. I decided to tune my radio to the classic rock station (I don't have it preset), and as I was tuning, I specifically thought, "Man, I hope AC/DC's 'Back in Black' is on."

Guess what was on when I tuned in.

Yep.

I had a theology professor at Baylor who actually told us that we could make things happen with our minds, and that when our minds coincided with God's mind on a matter, that's when "prayers were answered."

He cited Heisenberg's uncertainty principle as evidence that we could make things happen just by thinking about them.

Man, all this time, I thought he was wrong. I guess he was just vindicated. Sorry, professor. I never should have doubted you.

I got 2 in a row once - Feeling that Way/Anytime by Journey, followed by Roll with the Changes by REO......then, on the 3rd one, I was thinking Sweet Child of Mine by G&R, but just missed and got Paradise City........all in all not bad.....it was when I was driving through Charlotte a while back and came across a good classic rock station.

You know your getting old when your high school favorites are being played on the CLASSIC rock station. Great, that means I'm a CLASSIC. I don't think the term "classic rock" is politically correct - I'm offended ;-)

Enkurio: yep. I regularly hear stuff that came out when I was in h.s. on the classic rock station. U2, Motley Crue, etc. It's sad. :-)

OK, same sort of story in reverse:
My husband and I were at a yard-sale, and I picked up a Fleetwood Mac "Greatest Hits" CD and I bought it, telling my hub, " I don't love, love Fleetwood Mac, but I love "Landslide" and don't own it, and for that song alone it would be worth owning this CD ." As we're driving away, I check out the song list, and all the hits are there, EXCEPT, you guessed it, "Landslide". I go, "Dang! I'm stuck with this! Why would they ever make a FM Greatest Hits and leave out Landslide?" At that moment, I lean over, angrily turn on the radio, and what song is on? Yes, "Landslide". It was as if everything in the universe was mocking me.

Michele - I'm with you on Fleetwood Mac - they've never been my favorite, though I've always liked "Gold Dust Woman".......I turned down cheap tickets from a friend to see them in Atlanta a few months back.

This is my "top-that!" story day: I just turned down FREE Neil Diamond tickets. It just didn't seem worth even paying for parking.

Any day with bonus "back in black" is a good day. Nice one. But this has *nothing* to do with the uncertainty principle!
