Quantum Mechanics?
I have looked casually into what is the study of quantum mechanics or physics. From what I could find it is where scientist study beyond the atom. That is, we know the atom makes up all matter and then there is the matter of anti-matter, but what makes up the atom. If you remember from some of your high school science days, the atom contains three notable parts: the nucleus (the thing in the middle everything revolves around), the protons, and electrons. The protons and electrons revolve around the nucleus much like a planet revolves around the sun. However, what holds the electrons and protons in orbit like the planets around the sun? It’s not gravity. It is an invisible force that scientists have yet to identify. The study of that force is what quantum mechanics is about (in a simplified definition).
The God Particle
You may have heard the term “God particle” before. It would take way too long to explain this, but in a nutshell, it is what gives matter mass. It includes photons, protons, etc. and was given the name due to the long drawn out process to find out how atoms (unseen) make up matter (the seen). Way too short of a description as to what it is. Okay, you say, so what is the God particle? Believe it or not, there are sub-atomic particles. These are particles that exist before the atom; further down beyond the atom. The God particle is sub-atomic, smaller than the atom.
Sub-atomic
Quantum mechanics studies the sub-atomic. It asks questions like what holds the atoms together? What is beyond the atom? What are the forces at play at this level? Generally speaking, it is metaphysical or do I dare say supernatural. All on our side of the atom is physical things. For the most part, we can see it (even if with a microscope), touch it, taste it, smell it. Everything beyond the atom is not physical because atoms are what make up the physical. So it is non-physical or metaphysical. It is not what we would call part of the natural world, but supernatural.
Here is the God Principle
What holds all that we know together has been a conjecture of man for ages. As is so common, the answer is right where it has always been. The problem comes where many say the answer is unacceptable or too simplistic. The answer is in the Bible. Specifically:
“And He is before all things, and in Him, all things hold together.” Colossians 1:17 NSV
Genesis 1:1 and John 1:1 says that God/ Jesus created all things. He spoke them into existence. Before the atoms knew what to do and before the creation of even atoms, there was God who is supernatural or spirit. What is the force holding the sub-atomic particles and atomic particles in place? It is Jesus. “And in Him, all things hold together.” He is the force holding it all together. He is the force that holds the electrons and protons in orbit around the nucleus. He is the one who, at the speaking of His word can also let it all go.
Since God is the Creator and Sustainer through Jesus, then He is also the One who knows how it all works and is supposed to work. One day this world as we know it will end. That is when Jesus will set all things right. Peter says of that day “But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed.” 2 Peter 3:10. On that day all the elements will be rearranged and put back in the correct order. One translation of the Bible says there will be a “fervent heat.” Nuclear fusion. The Book of Revelation says there will be a new order, new heaven, and a new earth. The same Jesus who holds all the atoms and matter together, who can and will rearrange those atoms, is also the same Jesus who can hold your life together. Even when it seems it is all out of control and you don’t understand it, you can know that the Creator God of the Universe also can hold you and rearrange your life. But He will not force that upon you. You have to ask. He is more than willing to start today.

Read just about any survey where the respondents said something was important to them versus whether they do it. Everyone has an opinion as to what is important. Question is: is it important enough to do it? Take any Family Feud type question for example. One hundred American men surveyed said this is the most important thing to them. The top six answers are on the board. There seems to be this pat answer in the politically correct order. Can’t you see the top answers as the bell dings when the board flips? GOD! The contestant yells. “Good answer, good answer,” his family claps and cheers. Ding! God/church/religion. Number one. We’ll play Steve, and the game goes on. Spouse. Good answer. Ding! Family/children. Ding! Country. Job. Ding! Ding! Entertainment/ pleasure. Ding!
ontestants, where do you spend most of your time, energy, and money? If I were a betting man, I would say you could probably flip the list upside down. There’s a saying that goes like this: “What you do speaks so loudly, I can’t hear what you are saying.” If there is a disparity between what we say and what we do, it begs the question: why? Any problem can be boiled down to the cause by asking “why” at least five times. Usually, it doesn’t take all five “whys.” So let’s take the number one New Years’ resolution: to lose weight. Followed by exercising more so we will take both together. People will join gyms like crazy in January, and then the attendance drops off shortly around February.
Case in point, in an earlier article this year I laid out several lofty goals. I will hit these goals. You how I know? I have hit them before and will do it again. My elephant knows I can, so I will. I am no more special than you or anyone else. How did I do it before? I changed my script. I chose to. Was it easy? Heck no! Was it worth it? Absolutely and you can do it too. Here is how I did it and will continue to do it.
But what does it mean to you? Ben Franklin said, “If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead, either write something worth reading or do things worth writing.” I try to do both. Did he live a life of significance? I think we will all agree that he did. If you ask the average American to name something about Ben Franklin you would get a varied response. You might hear such as he created the potbellied stove; he created the bifocals; he was struck by lightning when flying a kite in a storm, or more likely, he is on a $100.00 bill. But was he more significant today than he was in his generation?
If you have ever read the 
mind is a true maxim. Never underestimate the value of a 3×5 card. List your goals on several and strategically place them so you see that list every day, several times a day. Put one on your bathroom mirror so you can see it in the morning when you get up and before you go to bed. Put one on your refrigerator, one on the dashboard of your car, one on your desk, in your lunch box and so on. Keep your mind focused on your goals.
You have a goal, and you have a plan. Now you have to measure the plan. There are several ways to do this, monthly, quarterly, biannually, and annually. In some cases, depending on the goal, you may have to measure and review weekly or daily. For you to save $1200.00 a year, you will have to save around $23.08 a week or $46.15 every two weeks. What if you get paid every two weeks, and you rounded it up to $50.00 a pay period? At the halfway point of the year, you would have $650.00. You would be $50.00 ahead of your goal for that timeframe.
