This guy is brilliant. He made a working V-12 engine out of PAPER! Obviously it doesn’t work in the sense that it powers a car, but parts move so that’s all that matters to me. Things like this make me realize that I’m not a very patient person, nor should I ever try to do artistic things.

Came across this Proverb this morning:
Proverbs 17:1
Better a dry crust eaten in peace than a house filled with feasting—and conflict.

How many times have I made decisions to pursue something at the cost of peace. People do this all time when they work in a job that sucks their life dry just so they can make a little more money, or when they pursue an opportunity that’s laden with conflict and difficulty just so they can get something like fun or status.
The older I get, the more I understand that peace is one of God’s greatest gifts to us in life. Life is tumultuous as it is, so we should weigh our pursuits and value peace more in the equations.
