Further Connections Of Scripture To The Human Experience
"Come to me, all you who are weary ..."
A reflection on what may be the source of our tiredness.
During the last 24 hours each of our hearts has beat 104,000 times, our blood has traveled 168,000 miles, we breathed 24,000 breaths, and we have inhaled 438 cubic feet of air. We perspired a pint of fluid, we exercised 7,000 brain cells, and we moved 750 muscles. We spoke 4,800 words and generated 450 tons of energy. If you wonder why you are feeling tired, that's the reason. And to make matters worse, you have to do it all over again tomorrow.
