This is one of the best explanations of why God allows pain and
suffering that I have seen. It's an explanation other people will
understand:
A lady went to a beauty shop to have her hair cut and her nails painted and
trimmed. As the lady began to work, they began to have a good conversation.
They talked about so many things and various subjects.
When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the beautician said: "I
don't believe that God exists."
"Why do you say that?" asked Sheryl who has MS.
"Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God
doesn't exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people?
\Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would be neither
suffering nor pain. I can't imagine a loving God who would allow all of these
things."
Then Sheryl thought for a moment, but didn't respond because she didn't want
to start an argument. The beautician just finished her job and the customer
left the shop. Just after
she left the beauty shop, she saw a woman in the street with long,stringy,
dirty hair and not groomed at all. She looked dirty and unkempt.
Then Sheryl turned back and entered the beauty shop again and she said to
the beautician: "You know what? Beauticians do not exist."
"How can you say that?" asked the surprised beautician. "I am here, and I am
a beautician. And I just worked on you!"
"No!" Sheryl exclaimed. "Beauticians don't exist because if they did, there
would be no people with dirty long hair and be very unkempt, like that woman
outside."
"Ah, but beauticians DO exist! What happens is, people do not come to me."
"Exactly!"- affirmed Sheryl. "That's the point! God, too, DOES exist! What
happens, is, people don't go to Him and do not look for Him. That 's why
there's so much pain and suffering in the world."
If you believe God exists, send this to other people--If you think God does
not exist, delete it!
Dear Lord:
Keep your arm around my shoulder and your hand over my mouth!
Amen.

Does God Exist?
Posted by Lisa at Wednesday, December 19, 2007Finance Genius
Posted by Lisa at Wednesday, December 19, 2007Are you planning to buy a car and you want to have the best deal? Perhaps you want to get a used car so you can save more. You need to check this website that I've seen in the internet to help you. FinanceGenius assists their customers with financial options for savings in various areas of family spending. When buying a car you need to check the warranty. Used Car Warranty is a little trickier since it depends on where you get the car from. There are 2 types for used cars: the manufacturer’s warranty and the implied warranty. Then of course, many have no warranty at all, which is usually referred to “as is.” Make sure you know what you’re purchasing and that you are okay with it.

Ultimate Paintball Store
Posted by Lisa at Sunday, December 16, 2007I am not really into guns or even toy guns because these are for males. My nephews have toy guns and my hubby have 2 pellet guns. I haven't seen my hubby used his pellet guns though. He's just too busy in his work and during his off, he just watch tv in the house. This morning I happened to see a website that offers paintball gun package online. They sell different kinds of paintball guns like spyder mr2 in their online store. When hubby came home for lunch, I asked him what are they because I have no idea. He said paintball guns are used for sports but is intended for adults only. He asked why. I told him I just saw in the internet that they are selling it with discounted price. Their top selling guns are Tippmann A-5, Tippmann 98 Custom, Smart Parts Ion, and Spyder Pilot ACS. Ultimate Paintball offers the best prices with free shipping. It's my first time to see these kind of guns and I thought of writing it here.
Revival
Posted by Lisa at Sunday, December 16, 2007Our revival in our church started today. Our guest speaker Bro. dave McCracken is a very good evangelist. This morning, he preached about repentance. He said that you can't be saved without repentance from your sins. He also said that repentance and faith are like siamese twins. You repent from your sins because you believe that God will save you if you do. Bro. Dave knows how to catch the audience attention. He told stories that relates to the verses that he read. He also crack jokes that made us laugh. Tonight he preached again. Our revival will last until Wednesday. It's our prayer that after the revival, all of us will be revived and our faith will be strengthen.
