PA always in my heart !D

Well I have been away for about a week now, I keep everybody and everything in my prayers !D Vacation is going extremely well, two more days to go till my brother seals the deal and is officially off the market hehehe. just felt like swinging through and keeping things updated. Hope summer goes off without a hitch for all those 2 or 3 still in school, and lets all hope for lower gas prices for the upcoming summertime festivities!

Prayer request

Hmm...my first post.

I just wanted to ask for everyone to keep me in their prayers. This past weekend i had an accident while i was at drill and managed to dislocate my left shoulder. At first i didn't think it was that bad, but I just recently found out on Wednesday that I tore a few ligaments and really stretched out the others. Doctor at the moment is recommending surgery. I am getting a second opinion this coming week so its wait and see at the moment.

Last few months have been tough with a lot of things and now i have this to deal with. Tam reminded me today that God has a purpose for everything even though I may not see what it has been the last few months. I guess thinking about all thats happened it reminds me of the verse in Proverbs 3:5 "Trust in the Lord....". Maybe God wants me to do something else with my time these days since I'm not able to do much these days that i normally do. I just got to rely on Him and see what He has in store for me.

Thanks for reading this rant. Bye.

Does evil exist email

hope u guys enjoy reading this

This has a thought provoking message no matter how you believe. Does evil exist?

The university professor challenged his students with this question. Did God create everything that exists?
A student bravely replied yes, he did!"
"God created everything?" The professor asked.
"Yes, sir," the student replied.

The professor answered, "If God created everything, then God created evil since evil exists, and according to the principal that our works define who we are then God is evil."
The student became quiet before such an answer.

The professor was quite pleased with himself and boasted to the students that he had proven once more that the Christian faith was a myth.

Another student raised his hand and said, "Can I ask you a question professor?" "Of course", replied the professor. The student stood up and asked, "Professor, does cold exist?"

"What kind of question is this? Of course it exists. Have you never been cold?" The students snickered at the young man's question.

The young man replied, "In fact sir, cold does not exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is in reality the absence of heat. Everybody and every object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter have or transmit energy. Absolute zero (- 460 degrees F) is the total absence of heat; all matter becomes inert and incapable of reaction at that temperature. Cold does not exist. We have created this word to describe how we feel if we have too little heat.

The student continued. "Professor, does darkness exist?"

The professor responded, "Of course it does".

The student replied, "Once again you are wrong sir, darkness does not exist either. Darkness is in reality the absence of light. Light we can study, but not darkness. In fact we can use Newton's prism to break white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths of each color. You cannot measure darkness. A simple ray of light can break into a world of darkness and illuminate it. How can you know how dark a certain space is? You measure the amount of light present. Isn't this correct? Darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present."

Finally the young man asked the professor. "Sir, does evil exist?"

Now uncertain, the professor responded, "Of course as I have already said. We see it every day. It is in the daily example of man's inhumanity to man. It is in the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world. "These manifestations are nothing else but evil."

To this the student replied, "Evil does not exist sir, or at least it does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is not like faith, or love, that exist just as does light and heat. Evil is the result of what happens when man does not have God's love present in his heart. It's like the cold that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light."

The professor sat down.

The young mans name --- Albert Einstein
