In time...

The word of the week is parturient - bringing forth or about to produce something, as an idea.

With it being another hand-in day today, I thought I'd go from writing many many words for the sake of a BSc, and, instead, write some words about being expectant. Expectant, for example, that one day, no matter who they call themselves to be, they will, most definitely, find pleasure in Facebook. Expectant that, in one years time, I will be somewhere entirely different, with new friends and old friends mingled in some crazy stir fry. Expectant that Jesus is coming.

All are valid. All come into play at some point in life, and all have a some kind of effect on making me smile. Facebook is expanding like the theoretical primeval soup is speculated to have done. Stir fries are becoming more common among student (according to a recent survey). Jesus is coming.

If such a mind-bottling (you know, where all your thoughts are all messed up like they're stuck in a bottle) thing is to take place it would be only right for everyone to know about it. Like the iPhone took everyone by storm, and anyone who knows anything about it wants one, like Google, becoming the next major retailer through Google Checkouts, like the Wikipedia project gaining more respect and less speculation, like Jesus coming back.

Expectancy, in the English language, is different from other definitions. Expectancy, in English, is about regarding something as likely to happen. Some knowledge has made your mind believe something will take place, and it take an expectancy to live in the time before it. In many other languages it is much more about simply waiting. Waiting for Jesus to come. Waiting for Facebook to be the place to live. Google to have the entire internet covered in green. It's not based on conclusions drawn from certain evidences, but a waiting that it will happen. In other settings it is to ask for. Expecting someone to receive you into their home is much more a request. So, in light of this, let us put aside assumptions that puts Facebook in a place to watch what might happen, or Google in an RSS feed reader, just in case something curious happens, or Apple being themselves and making new things with the sole intention of coming out on top, and wait. Wait for Jesus to get rid of these darn mortal bodies and help us to see His glory. He IS coming. No 2 ways about it. One way. In a word: trust.
