ARE YOU DIZZY YET ?

When you do the simple math, it's quite amazing and mind boggling about the speed that we are actually traveling through space at any given moment. It takes 24 hours for the earth to complete a full rotation every day. And the circumference of the earth is roughly 24,000 miles. That means if you live at the Equator your are traveling about 1000 miles per hour(through space) at any given moment.

Then when you consider that the earth travels around the sun in 365 days and has to go a distance of 583,000,000 miles, we are really moving. There is 24 hours in a day. 365 X 24 = 8,760 miles. Divide 580,000,000 by 8,760 and you are left with roughly 66,000 miles per hour that we are humming through space ! Simple math.....

Are you dizzy yet ? Of course not ! Because in our little world of gravity and our present environment, we cannot reference those massive speeds. There's no solid object close enough to the earth to allow us to see it or feel it.

All this to say, that even though sometimes we can't see or feel anything happening, that doesn't mean that things are not moving along, and at pretty incredible speeds.....

These days, and months, and even years for that matter, we have had many times of waiting for our dreams to become reality. So often, we don't feel or see anything really happening, but we know that so much is going on behind the scene's and in the unseen that we will soon feel, see, and experience.
