WorldView

I take a WorldView class every Friday afternoon. The past two weeks we've been reading "Know Why You Believe" by Paul Little. We've been discussing all the questions non-believers have and how to respond to them! One of the chapters is titled "Why does God allow suffering and evil." Our dilemma is:
Either God is all-powerful but not all-good and therfore doesn't want to stop evil... or : God is all good but unable to stop evil; therefore He is not all powerful.
A Christian Response: (I love this)
"One reason sin and suffering flourish, results from sin's being treated like a cream puff instead of a rattlesnake. "
That makes me think... so I thought I share it. Please comment.

Homeschool Moment

I don't know how many of you people read the "Homeschooling Today" magizine. I usually don't but my mom suggested reading this and I thought it was really cute and funny. I thought I'd share it with all of you!! :)
My two young sons and I were studying Genesis 1. I paused occansionally to explain what various things meant. When we got to verse 27, (male and female he created them) I paused and asked the boys if they knew what male and female meant. They both said yes, but they had confused looks so I asked my four-year-old to explain it for us. He said, "male is when you send a letter in the mailbox and female is when you send a letter on the computer. Females are lots faster than males." - Rachael Varblow
It's that cute?

Challenge

I have a challenge to start the New Year.
Last Sunday James Faris said something about reading through the Bible in one year. I am going to do that. Jessica Young already said she would, and I want to know how many other people will make the commitment. It's only the 6th today, so you'd only be less than a week behind. I have a guideline thing that I can e-mail you or give to you if you decide to do it. It's not hard, you read one passage from the Gospels, one from Psalms/Proverbs, one from the Old Testament and one from the epistles. Please comment!!!!
