Cool Quotes...

"Hope floats like lava beneath the crust of daily life." Philip Yancey Okay so think about lava, well let's think of it as magma because magma is underground and lava is above ground. (There is all that Science teacher poking thru again; igneous, metamorphic, whatever, I forgot it after I memorized it for 11th grade geology.).) No-matter, for serious. God still loves us, cuz, well, God made it all. So where is your hope? Does it burn and heat your life? Is it self sustaining in its heat when your "drive" cools? does it flow or just pool and cool off to hardened rock? Just questions I ask myself after hearing the quote this morning.......Now onto geology.....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsJn8izcKtg is a great video of pillow basalt. (Oops sorry, basalt is the rock formed by the cooling, rather quick cooling, of magma.) The faster it cools the smaller the crystals, the slower it cools the larger the crystals = granite. (go look at a granite slab supplier to see the size of the crystals.) Or just look at a kitchen with granite counter tops. So back to magma and lava.....did ya know lava cools and forms two different type as of surface rock? So those of you who did, well that's cool but for those of you who did not here are the two types. Aa adn Pahoehoe, for serious. I think Aa lave agot its name from the sound, or screams people made from walking across it...... and pahoehoe means rope in Hawaiian......like a coiled rope. Wikipedia has some great info..... Keep hope alive, or at least on a simmer below the surface, Tony
