On Eternity and Mustard Seed

Shawn Smith - March 15, 2006

Imagine that the entire surface of the Earth is covered with mustard seed

Imagine also that this mustard seed is 100km deep from the highest point on Earth

Now imagine that every 1000 years a bird comes and takes just one of those mustard seeds  away

Think about the time it would take for all those seeds to be removed so that there would not even be one mustard seed left on Earth

In fact, this time would not even be a mustard seed sized portion of eternity

Gentle reader, where will you spend eternity?
