Entropy.
I like this word. What do you know that is entropic? Numerous things occur to me.
A trend to disorder? The school system. The mind of a 13-year old. My mind for that matter. My office.
The degree of disorder or uncertainty in a system. Government, any government, you name it. Churches too.
Available energy, not being used. A measure of disorder. How about your walk with God? How much entropy is there? I must take a self-examination on that one. I know God's energy and power is boundless. Mine is definitely finite and limited. His power is there for me to access. How much I do not use is a measure of my spiritual disorder.
Now that puts another slant on things, doesn't it? How much entropy is there in my relationship with God? I've been reading Max Lucado's Cure for the Common Life: Living in your Sweet Spot. I definitely need to finish that book...today.
Available energy, not being used. On this hot, sticky day in the midwest I'm on my way to investigate. Just how much unused energy is available to me?
Yes, I like that word: ENTROPY
