Triangulating Spiritual Truth

Image
I was watching a detective show the other night when I heard a familiar phrase. "Can you triangulate that call?" Any Law & Order  fan knows that when a signal—like from a cell phone—bounces off three towers, an accurate location can be established. Thinking about that piqued my interest about triangles in general, and since I'm nerdy like that, I started reading more about them. It turns out that triangles are awesome! They're super strong. According to the U.S. Space and Rocket Center , to change a triangle's shape, an edge must collapse. But edges can be fortified, making the triangle able to hold large loads. They are ideal building blocks. But here's the crazy thing—triangles are simple, too. In fact, they're the simplest polygon. According to the University of Cambridge Wild Maths program , a common way to approach a tricky problem, like analyzing a complex surface, is by approximating it with these simple triangles. Accuracy. Strength....

How to Get a Grip

On January 7, 2015, Kevin Jorgensen clung to the side El Capitan—a rock formation in Yosemite National Park. He and his climbing buddy Tommy Caldwell would go on to become the first people to free-climb Dawn Wall, but they didn't know it at the time. Instead, what Kevin knew was that he kept falling. Over, and over, and over again. He was stuck on Pitch 15, a treacherous sideways part of the climb that had only the tiniest of sharp handholds. He would fail to complete the pitch 11 times over seven days.  Fast-forward two days. On January 9, Jorgensen slid along Pitch 15 with renewed determination. Put your foot here. Grab there. Shift foot there. Release and regrip. Every technical move had to be done exactly right. Finally, the magical moment came. Jorgensen clipped his tether into the carabiner, marking the completion of the pitch. He had done it! What made the difference? I wonder if part of his success came about because of two important practices Jorgensen did...

What Will We Leave Behind?

Did you know that Charles Dickens—that's right, the guy who wrote "A Christmas Carol"—wrote a book about the life of Jesus? And the best part is that he wrote it for his kids! The handwritten manuscript was a private family treasure for many years, until the children decided to share it with the world in 1934. It was the last work of Dickens to be published. I have a tradition of reading the short book each Easter. As a Christian, I appreciate the overview it gives of the life of Jesus Christ. But most of all, it's a good reminder to me that each of us—whether we have "children of our own" or not—have the opportunity to create something meaningful to leave the next generation. Whether that ''thing" is a tangible item, or a teaching, or an influence, it has the potential to continue shaping, strengthening, and empowering our children long after we've left. Every day gives us another chance to create—through words, artwork, letters, v...
