[the following does not belong to me. I do not know if that story is fact or fiction. It is only that i would like to share this story with those that read this blog.]
An Atheist Professor of Philosophy was speaking to his Class on the problem Science has with GOD, the ALMIGHT. He asked one of his new Christian students to stand.
Professor : You are a Christian, aren’t you, son?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor : So, you believe in GOD?
Student : Absolutely, sir.
Professor : Is GOD good?
Student : Sure.
Professor : Is GOD ALL - POWERFUL?
Student : Yes.
Professor : My Brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn’t. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?
(Student was silent)
Professor : You can’t answer, can you? Let’s start again, young fella. Is GOD Good?
Student : Yes.
Professor : Is Satan good?
Student : No.
Professor : Where does Satan come from?
Student : From… GOD…
Professor : That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this World?
Student : Yes.
Professor : Evil is everywhere, isn’t it? And GOD did make everything. Correct?
Student : Yes.
Professor : So who created evil?
(Student did not answer)
Professor : Is there Sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the World, don’t they?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor : So, who created them?
(Student had no answer)
Professor : Science says you have 5 Senses you use to Identify and Observe The World around you. Tell me, son…have you ever seen GOD?
Student : No, sir.
Professor : Tell us if you have ever heard your GOD?
Student : No, sir.
Professor : Have you ever Felt your GOD, Tasted your GOD, Smelt your GOD? Have you ever had any Sensory Perception of GOD for that matter?
Student : No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.
Professor : Yet you still believe in HIM?
Student : Yes.
Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student : Nothing. I only have my Faith.
Professor : Yes, Faith. And that is the problem Science has.
Student : Professor, is there such a thing as Heat?
Professor : Yes.
Student : And is there such a thing as Cold?
Professor : Yes.
Student : No, sir. There isn’t…
(The Lecture Theater became very quiet with this turn of events)
Student : Sir, you can have Lots of Heat, even More Heat, Superheat, Mega Heat, White Heat, a Little Heat or No Heat. But we don’t have anything called Cold. We can hit 458 Degrees below Zero, Which is No Heat, but we can’t go any further after that.There is no such thing as Cold. Cold is only a Word we use to describe the Absence of Heat. We cannot Measure Cold. Heat is Energy. Cold is Not the Opposite of Heat, sir, just the Absence of it.
(There was pin-drop silence in the Lecture Theatre)
Student : What about Darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as Darkness?
Professor : Yes. What is Night if there isn’t Darkness?
Student : You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the Absence of Something. You can have Low Light, Normal Light, Bright Light, Flashing Light… But if you have No Light constantly, you have nothing and its Called Darkness, isn’t it? In reality, Darkness isn’t. If it is,You would be able to make Darkness Darker, wouldn’t you?
Professor : So what is the point you are making, young man?
Student : Sir, my point is, your Philosophical Premise is flawed.
Professor : Flawed? Can you explain how?
Student : Sir, you are working on the Premise of Duality. You argue There is Life and then there is Death, a Good GOD and a Bad GOD. You are Viewing the Concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can’t even explain a Thought. It uses Electricity and Magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view Death as the Opposite of Life is to be ignorant of the fact that Death cannot exist as a Substantive Thing. Death is Not the Opposite of Life, just the Absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your Students that they evolved from a Monkey?
Professor : If you are referring to the Natural Evolutionary Process,yes, of course, I do.
Student : Have you ever observed Evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was going)
Student : Since no one has ever observed the Process of Evolution at work and Cannot even prove that this Process is an On-Going Endeavor, Are you not teaching your Opinion, sir? Are you not a Scientist but a Preacher?
(The Class was in uproar)
Student : Is there anyone in the Class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?
(The Class broke out into laughter)
Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it?… No one appears to have done so. So, according to the Established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have No Brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
(The Room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable)
Professor : I guess you’ll have to take them on Faith, son.
Student : That is it sir…Exactly!The Link between Man & GOD is FAITH.That is all that Keeps Things Alive and Moving.

f a m i l y & f r i e n d s
for a while now, there has been just so many things on my mind,
things that easily bring me to tears to even think about deeply.
but numbs me at the same time.
things that hurt to think about...
f a m i l y & f r i e n d s
my family and i are experiencing a tough and rough patch.
a large tough and rough patch
there's confusion. cause nothing seems to change the outcome.
there are tears. from not being able to do anything.
there's anger. from everyone.
there's violence. back stabbing[on each other]. there's hurt.
there is here.
here is a broken home.
ekklesia* is the current theme for my church this year.
to me, as far as my understanding; it basically means community.
and to me, a community is suppose to be like a family;
always caring for each other.
in the midst of all the chaos at home.
i simply can not witness an effort of such within the church body.
all i hear is rumors and criticism around me throughout the church.
around my family. and how we are a bad influence. and basically to stay away.
i see countless faces judging me every week.
faces of disgust. of shame.

why are you judging me when you don't even know me?
when you do not know the full story?
i cant believe i have to force a smile across my face.
every friday fellowship. every sunday.
silently walking by trying to believe that nothing is wrong.
how is that a safe environment?
which a church should be. a safe environment.
ive been told, that perhaps it's people's way of being concerned for me and my family.
please. please. please. enlighten me.
no one has asked how i am. how i feel about everything.
no one has tried to hear MY side of the story.
no one has tried to understand.
no one has shown any sign of concern.
to people who are not affected. not hurt.
my pain and sorrow is simply juicy gossip and entertainment.
im so frustrated.
it breaks my heart time and time again.
it makes me ache being alone.
im an only child.
i lack a bond that promises support.
unfortunately i also did not grow up with anyone close and alike to relate to.
unlike my closest friends. who are best friends to each other.
i long for the same kind of relationship.
'ekklesia' : an assembly; a people in exile; called out of the world for a purpose; a holy priesthood... getting back to God's intent for God's gathering of people...

Easter Worship - [rap]
Easter has lost it's meaning.
it's all 'bout rabbits and eggs...
but YO! rabbits don't even lay eggs.
days aren't spent praisin' no more.
so why we scavenging for chocolates for?
chocolates are only temporary.
we ALL need something for eternally -
fill our hearts with passion;
not a basket of slow killing poison!
Delusional bunnies fill our basket, just once a year.
Christ fills our heart with lovin'&appreciatin' all and EVERY year
that's where its at bra. JESUS CHRIST!

reminise.
how my life has changed these few years of highschool.
loss connections with friends that i thought i would never loose
i wanted to think nothing has changed. but how can that be?
when its right in front of my eyes.
thank you for that mini pillow, that you gave me so that i can always hug it and cry into it when im sad
i still use it, and think of you every time.
had to throw it into the washer a few times cause it was so gross
i miss you mary. i miss those days were we climbed trees and were u n s t o p p a b l e.
well now its come to a stop.
when the partners in crime are no longer partners..
delighted with growing friendships
broken when they deminish within weeks.
what happened.
was it me?
.. whats wrong with me?
did i do something wrong?
im sorry. i miss you. i miss the times we've had. even the littlest things..
thanks for getting me on busses thats summer agnes : )
you bring truth in the phrase "you take it for granted til its gone"
i havent seen you since the end of school..
i miss the lunches we have, the journey's we'd travel to just get a muffin and coffee
- the times youve stuck by me when i was having a crumby day
still think of those days when we dont have a thing to do and we just sit in the hall and talk
i miss you katelyn..
have fun out in the fields, but stay safe.
you've drawn for me, you've written for me
we've been through everything together.
ashley, where do i start.. we're so different, but somehow we were so close
i still have the poem you wrote, bout the three of us.
so unseparatable. but here we are. separated..
take care of bella, tell her about me.. tell her the adventures we've been on
the stories we've made up..
shes's a treasure ashley, and so are you.
take care ashes-
you little smartie you!
so envious of how you find all these things managable..
so proud of you, getting into mcmasterr katie
so so proud of you, but i knew youd get in - no doubt.
miss you lots, and i feel bad that we didnt talk more..
i still remember at retreats, winter retreat..
when we would stay up all night catching up a year's worth..
i treasure those times with all my heart.
be my future family doctor or whatever doctor you become pleasee
we grew up together. we were the closest thing..
til overrated d r a m a got to us.
i cant believe it broke us..
as much as we want to say it didnt..
we arent as close anymore. its a shame. its a loss, for me at least.
i dont know how to start a conversation with you strangely
but once we do talk. i love it.
i feel like we were never separated at all,
and i wish it can go on for hours..
just hope you know i love you dearly cavina
youre the sweetheart that everyone loves
with great reason
take care of yourself cav, clumsy cav, love you spills and all
all wash your shirt and pants all over again if you fall in a hole
just come to the pond and help me catch another frog kay?
youre a jumble of joy. your laughs warm my heart
i still miss the summer we spent together. arguably one of my best.
i promised we'd do it again
but it never happened.
i guess im undependable and theres others that are
cause we dont talk so much anymore
i think of you as one of best friends hailey. hope you know.
wish we talked online more,
im sorry i couldnt keep up with those letters i wrote every week
honestly im jealous of you and jenn litterally knowing every little thing that happens
its cute blocking each other.. or im just a mess
wish we did more together..
but times of an essence isnt it?
love you hailey
youre so cute, not in the way you find children attractive
movies and blankets
picking strawberries in awkward childhood pants
minature skits in my room with costumes and makeup of bright colour
the dreams you have are messed up, and how you'd still tell me shamelessly
i love that about you jenjenn
love your integrity in school, and so proud of your grades that you achieve
have fun at mc. behave yourself and have funn
ill miss you more than words can tell
love you jenjenn
sorry i always drive you crazy
perhaps the gender difference makes it even harder for you
you spoil me so much its terrible!
its making me really princessy. and i hate it.
but thank you for being here for me for so long,
staying beside me when i break down and snapp
taking my hits when i lash out just cause i cant take it anymore..
instead of getting mad you'd hold me and tell me you love me
buy me chocolates to cheer me up
thank you for chasing after me
when im ignorant enough to walk away.
i appreciate it more than i show it,
and im sorry i dont show you my appreciation as much as i should
thank you mike, i love you lots, hope you know.
