the design
As I build this house I sometimes get overwhelmed by the stuff that still needs to be done. It could be done so much faster if I just paid a bunch of people. We or I am much more complex than this house with our automatic breathing. Our blood vessels that flow through our veins. Credit needs to be given to Bill Wolfson as I was just listening to a sermon of his. I guess that got my thinking started. Many blogs get triggered by something someone said or something I read that someone else wrote. I had a guy stop by the other day to look at the house and he was really impressed by it. He said a lot of thought went into the design of this house. Actually I saw something similar on the Internet as I typed in dogtrot one day. I was thinking about the Dogtrot houses that were built around here around 1850 or so. But there was a plan drawn up. there was a carpenter that nailed 2 by 4's and other boards together and it went up. There was plumbing laid out prior to the slab foundation being poured. There was electrical wiring and more plumbing installed, and gas lines installed before the insulation and sheet rock went up. But when you think about it a lot of thought does go into building a house. Certain things have to be done before other things. We would have had a difficult time putting plumbing and wiring in the walls after the sheet rock was installed. We would have had a very difficult time putting plumbing and water lines under the concrete floors after the floor was poured with concrete. So yes a lot of thought went into the design of this house as well as any house or building that is built. So back to me and how complex a being I am. I have blood flowing through my veins that takes oxygen and food nutrients to all parts of my body. Waste is removed with very little thought on my part. Much is automatic, I don't think about breathing, I just breathe. Some would discount the big bang theory and say we just happened. When I think about how complex I am I want to believe someone gave a lot of thought to the design. I can't imagine what a house would look like if me and others did not give a lot of thought to the design ahead of time. I am a spiritual being as well. Emotional being, I have feelings. I have a brain that allows me to make choices in my life. I don't have to be like I was 30 years ago. I can make changes, and I have. I process information not only to make changes in my life but even as I was building the house I made choices such as slab foundation or conventional foundation. I chose a metal roof over composition. I chose color of paint. I was created with a brain that allows me to make choices. Surely something as complex as me or another human, even a horse or a cow had a designer, Think of all the complexity and some would have us believe it just happened. I believe, I chose to believe there was a designer. That it just happened seems too much to believe. I wish my house would just happen. God bless, LVZ.
