The mind God created us with is a strange and wondrous thing.
"Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae.

Chances are pretty good you were able to read the previous paragraph without too much difficulty. After I stumbled across this interesting tidbit of information, I realized how much this parallels our Christian lives as well.
In Revelation the Lord God declares himself the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. The key to that mixed up paragraph is the fact that the beginning and the end of each word is true and correct; the rest of the stuff simply doesn’t matter much what order it’s in. How true it is with most of our lives, huh? I can tell you that if I start my day with the Lord and end my day with the Lord, the rest of the day really doesn’t matter much when it’s all said and done.
Yes, the mind is a strange and wondrous thing that God has made.
