Sir Francis Bacon (and others)

I have often heard it said that the early scientists, the first to use actual experiments, 'proved' there is no God. On the contrary, many of these people had a strong belief in a Creator. Specifically, a personality who created everything putting into place certain laws that govern how all things work and work together. If these experimenters did not believe that there would be no sense in experimenting since the results of each experiment would be random, based on pure chance. Chaos does not breed order and structure, it only breeds more chaos.

Words

The relationship of the words "image" and "imagine" crossed my mind today. Many people's self image is purely imagined by the person.

Eternity

A friend made the comment today that it does not quite seem fair that we are condemned to Hell or be taken to Heaven for eternity when we die. My friend is a Christian but he said consigning a person to either for eternity does not seem fair.

My response was that we do not understand eternity, nor are we truly capable of understanding it. We look at eternity as a period of time but eternity is the absence of time. Time is for us, God does not dwell in time and, after we die, neither do we.

The other thought is that God does not condemn us to Hell. We make the choice during our lives and God simply honors our choice. We decide where we want to spend eternity. God does and has done everything to show and convince us to accept Christ. It is our choice to do so.

Getting older

The nice thing about being in my sixties is I already grew up to look like me.....how much more damage can I do?

Comfort Foods

Have you ever noticed that the more comfort food you eat the less comfortable you feel?
