Entropy is the gradual decline of all matter. We see it at work in our bodies. We see it at work in the world around us. There is no escaping entropy.

But, what of it? So, we fall apart – big whoop. Jesus says, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.” (Matthew 24:35)

And there will be a new heaven and a new earth. And you, too, will be made new.

“O God, the protector of all who trust in you, without whom nothing is strong, nothing is holy: Increase and multiply upon us your mercy; that, with you as our ruler and guide, we may so pass through things temporal, that we lose not the things eternal;
through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.” (Proper 12 – BCP)
