“Most incredible, however, are the times we know Christ is with us in the midst of our daily, routine lives. In the middle of cleaning the house or driving somewhere in the pick-up, He stops us. . . in our tracks and makes His presence known. Often it's in the middle of the most mundane task that He lets us know He is there with us. We realize, then, that there can be no "ordinary" moments for people who live their lives with Jesus.” PeopleKnowsMomentsHouseJesusChristRealizingKnownChristianityMiddleOrdinaryPicksJesus ChristTasksIncrediblesTrackDrivingMidstRoutineCleaningMundaneDaily RoutinesClean HouseOrdinary MomentsRoutine Life Author:Michael Card
“Physics is to be regarded not so much as the study of something a priori given, but rather as the development of methods of ordering and surveying human experience. In this respect our task must be to account for such experience in a manner independent of individual subjective judgement and therefore objective in the sense that it can be unambiguously communicated in ordinary human language.” HumansIndividualLanguageGivenStudyDevelopmentOrdinaryTasksAccountsIndependentMethodPhysicsObjectivesJudgementHuman ExperienceSubjectiveHuman Language Book:Collected Works Source: Collected Works
“In the judgment of design engineers, the ordinary means of communicating with a computer are entirely inadequate. [...] Graphical communication in some form or other is of vital importance in engineering as that subject is now conducted; we must either provide the capability in our computer systems, or take on the impossible task of training up a future race of engineers conditioned to think in a different way.” ThinkingWayMeanDifferentFormRaceImpossibleSubjectsDesignCommunicationJudgmentComputerTrainingOrdinaryTasksImportanceCommunicateDifferent WaysCapabilityEngineeringEngineersInadequateComputer Systems Author:Maurice Wilkes
“The naturalist is a civilized hunter. He goes alone into the field or woodland and closes his mind to everything but that time and place, so that life around him presses in on all the senses and small details grow in significance. He begins the scanning search for which cognition was engineered. His mind becomes unfocused, it focuses on everything, no longer directed toward any ordinary task or social pleasantry.” MindSocialGrowsFieldsOrdinaryTasksPressesDetailsSensesSignificanceCivilizedHuntersCognitionNaturalistWoodlandSmall DetailsScanningPleasantries Author:E.

“I just remember their kindness and goodness to me, and their peacefulness and their utter simplicity. They inspired real reverence, and I think, in a way, they were certainly saints. And they were saints in that most effective and telling way: sanctified by leading ordinary lives in a completely supernatural manner, sanctified by obscurity, by usual skills, by common tasks, by routine, but skills, tasks, routine which received a supernatural form from grace within.” ThinkingWayRealRememberFormCommonKindnessGraceSkillsGoodnessOrdinaryTasksInspiredSimplicitySaintRoutineUsualReverenceObscurityOrdinary LifePeacefulness Author:Thomas Merton

“How was it that, even in the common tasks of an ordinary life, Jesus drew the praise of heaven? At the core of His being, He only did those things which pleased the Father. In everything, He stayed true, heartbeat to heartbeat, with the Father's desires. Jesus lived for God alone; God was enough for Him. Thus, even in its simplicity and moment-to-moment faithfulness, Christ's life was an unending fragrance, a perfect offering of incomparable love to God.” EnoughMomentsDesireFatherJesusHeavenChristPerfectCommonOrdinaryJesus ChristTasksPraiseSimplicityCoreOfferingFragranceFaithfulnessHeartbeatOrdinary LifeUnendingIncomparable Author:Francis Frangipane
