Some random thoughts

I just got a call from my former roommate (Justin) back in SLO (friends from Cal Poly) days. He was the youngest among my roommates and also very unique. He was studying electrical engineering back then, but at the same time he was very much interested in oriental medicine. I thought he may become a chiropractor or acupuncturist, but he ended up graduating as an IME (manufacturing engineering).

Many of the graduates became very successful and some are struggling. However, all in all, it appears that most of them are doing fairly well. Interestingly enough, I am probably the only one who is not married at this point. I guess the Lord has some plan in store for me:)

I had to go down to my brother-in-law dental office today to troubleshoot the office network problem. Several days ago, he called me in rather distressed voice about the network problem at his office. I told him that I would be unable to drive down to San Jose during the weekdays, but I will be able to help him out on weekends. Thus, today was the day that I had to help out my brother-in-law. Initially, I thought it was going to take all day, but it turned out that I was able to identify the network problem right away, so the Murphy's Law was in my favor this time around.

As I was driving home, I got into a contemplative mode. And I tried to recall some of the things that I had read in Knowing God. It occurred to me that the Bible verses the author quote and how he explains what it means didn't really go hand in hand. Maybe, that was the reason that I had such a hard time following what he says about the deity of God and Jesus Christ, God the Incarnate.

He does acknowledge that one of the essential qualities of God is omni-presence. Yet, God sent his only son (God himself, God Incarnate) to the earth as flesh. However, here is the dilemma. How can he be omnipresent if he came to the earth as flesh? That means that Jesus Christ is not God. There appears to be some hole in his logic. It is hard to fathom who God is. We just seem to understand a side of God through Jesus Christ. Probably, that is the mystery that we should come to accept as the unknowable.
