Those of you with kids, do you remember the first time you saw your child in the womb? How did you see that precious baby? With sound. That’s what an ultrasound is. An ultrasound, according to wikipedia, “is a form of cyclic sound pressure with a frequency greater than the upper limit of human hearing, this limit being approximately 20 kilohertz (20,000 hertz)” And with it, we can “visualize muscles, tendons, and many internal organs, their size, structure and any pathological lesions. They are also used to visualize a fetus during routine and emergency prenatal care”
Do you know how scientists are looking at far off galaxies? With radio waves. They are watching with sound.

I hope to unwrap this more and post on this over the next few weeks. In the meantime, I’m leaving Sunday for a week of class in Portland, and then five days in LA at Fuller Seminary for Allelon’s Summer Institute. I hope to post some while I am away, and if I do we will try to work through this idea more. I’m swamped until then and may not get to post the rest of the week.
But for now, try to start seeing life through the sound of the Spirit. A Pneumanaut would do that!
