Complexity

There is a very human tendency to think everything operates in a linear fashion. But we live in a world of complex systems. Things interact in unexpected and subtle ways, and we're demonstrably wrong about how best to manage things -- frequently! Relationships, ecosystems, computers, wars, politics are all complex systems.

Michael Crichton has written a fun, readable, and sobering essay on complexity that I highly recommend to you husbands and fathers. He set out to write a novel about a global catastrophe, started investigating Chernobyl, and discovered a whole body of evidence about complexity.

This is not a short essay, but it's worth your time. It will reinforce your high view of God's power and might.
