Miracles...

What is a miracle? I believe the definition is an event orchestrated by God to bring people into the light of Him. But what is a miracle? Does it have to something grand like: walking on water?
Or something that happens daily like: child birth? Are they both respectivly a miracle...and following that are some miracles better or more important than others?
Food for thought...

Waiting...Waiting...Waiting...

Can you believe that we wait for God? We (of course I do) say things like "Oh we're waiting for God." For God to what? To do something big and huge? To cure AIDS and save the Burmese people from enslavement and torture? Maybe his plan isn't big, but is just a simple plan. To change a person's attitude. And here's a thought. Lets say we're waiting for God to show us his plan. Lets look at this from an example: The plan is a map. God is holding the map. We're following him (or trying to). Why do we need to look at the map? Why do we need to know the plan? We're following God, so why do we need to know? God is the ultimate map reader and planner. He knows where we're going, so why don't people just follow?
Why do we feel the need to see the map?

Don't Lies Just Turn You... Off??

Isn't it annoying when some lies and its really, I mean really, obvious that they lied? The other day a person I lied to me and I got so tired of the 'story' that I told the person that I don't believe him. Well that didn't help he just keep going making the 'story' more and more outrageous! So I said again I don't believe that could happen. And so he persisted to try and tell me more. WHY?!?!?! I don't believe him and I know hes lying and he just won't admit it...why? Attention? Does he just have the habit of lying? Does he actually think that's how his little adventure happened?
Just plain weird...

Smash, Trash and... Sin?

I have a very general Question...Is it sinful to want to break things? I mean some days (most days) when I walk past a big window I want to take a brick and just smash the window!! I've never actually done it before; however the urge has always been there. I just want to see it happen and watch the glass crumble down in slow motion (like the movies). OK I know it won't be in slow motion but man it would still be fun!

Life After Death...For Whom?

I’ve often wondered whether children, when they die before accepting Christ, go to Heaven anyways. I mean won’t Jesus take pity on those little children and take them to Heaven? I used to like to think so, until I read a scripture in Genesis 8. God is promising Noah that He will never flood the earth again. The bible says:
21 The LORD smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: "Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though [a] every inclination of his heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done. (genesis 8:21)
Read the part about ‘every inclination of his heart is evil from childhood.’ So does that mean that people are evil and have to be taught to be good? So does that mean that God would send young children to hell because they’re evil? Its hard to say…

Sin...Who made it?

Isn't curious that God made everything? Everything?? EVERYTHING??? Even sin? God must have created it for it be real. Or did God imagine it, and create the possibility of sin? But then what does that mean? In Human terms that must mean he made sin and then if we pull the string sin would come down on us. But maybe since God is infiniate and all powerful, maybe he doesn't need to. maybe he just has to imagine something like that and it happens...

confusing...
