Scripture to think about

John 15:13 "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends."

This is a starter to remember what life is about: God cares for every person living on this earth. We have all committed acts which are called sin; the deeds are things we may wish we have not done to others, or they could be things that we wouldn't want the world to know. We inherited this problem from birth; the very first man and woman committed an act of evil in God's sight, and as a result, we have this bend in our nature to do things we know we should not do. If you read the first 3 chapters of Genesis, you will see the setting which leads to the downfall of humanity, and this problem to this day has not gone away, and will not until God brings Jesus Christ back for a second time. God warned Adam and his wife to not eat from a certain tree in the Garden of Eden (now believed to be part of an area in Iraq or Iran, the Persian Gulf...the hint is this: look for a geographical area where these 4 rivers meet: the Pishon River, the Gihon River, the Tigris River, and the Euphrates River. This is the area where the Garden of Eden once was (Read Genesis 2; the description is in there - Genesis 2 verses 10-14). The garden no longer exists; it was destroyed in a world wide flood (the cause of the polar ice caps). The remnants of the garden are now the sources of oil fields in the Middle East...laws of physics dictate that when things are crushed with great force, it will turn it into oil.

Well, this is a start. If you are stumbled across this blog in a search, and have anything to say, feel free to do so. I can take all kinds of remarks, so to me, it doesn't matter if you agree with me or not. Just one thing I won't tolerate: profanity - I am trying to keep this a blog that everyone can read, whether the person agrees or not. So I will delete profanity such as explicit messages, so don't even try it if you're thinking about it! I try to treat people with respect, and I expect the same thing back. Let's enjoy the God given gift of freedom, and blog away!
