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."

Does God Exists?
Posted by Lisa at Monday, March 10, 2008Training Administration
Posted by Lisa at Monday, March 10, 2008When I got hired in my previous jobs, the management required all of us new employees to undergo training before we can start working. That was one of their requirements and we had to do it. It took us a few days to undergo the said training and we learned a lot after that. The trainer presented all the job requirements and the do's and don'ts for us employees to be effective in our jobs. Most employers are using the Learning Management System training tracking software in their training administration for their employees so they have a better and flawless performance in their jobs. If you want to improve your company's training program and make your administrative job easier at the same time with an affordable easy-to-use learning management system, then use this software by conductit.com. You can try it free for 30 days and see it for yourself how it works before you buy it.

The Southern Baptist Academy
Posted by Lisa at Thursday, March 06, 2008Most of my friends have kids and they are home schooling them. They don't want to send their kids in a public school because they want to monitor their kids' performance in their studies. Besides, my friends doesn't want their kids to be influenced by other kids with their bad habits or attitudes if they will enroll their kids in the public school. So my friends in the church are just home schooling their kids now that's why their kids are well-disciplined and very studious. I have a friend though that is looking for a Christian school for her two kids. She wants to home school her kids but she needs some study materials to help her home school her kids. I need to tell her about The Southern Baptist Academy online home schooling. I'm sure she would be interested about this site because she wants a good Christian education for her kids. They are devoted Baptist members and I believe that she would give this home schooling site a try. This site offer an Accredited Christian Home School Curriculum and that's what my friend is looking for. So if you want a good Christian education for your kids, enroll them at The Southern Baptist Academy. As the founder and home school advocate Mimi Rothschild said, "Today's public schools are rapidly sprinting towards moral relativism and spiritual confusion. Parents who send their kids to these institutions every day run the risk of having their precious children indoctrinated against the very Christian values they hold dear. Southern Baptist leaders are calling for an alternative. This is that alternative." It is well said and what more can I say? Just give this online school a try and you'll see the result with your kids especially in their moral and spiritual life.
Love Story
Posted by Lisa at Thursday, March 06, 2008I will seek and find you .
I shall take you to bed and have my way with you
I will make you ache, shake & sweat until you moan & groan.
I will make you beg for mercy, beg for me to stop.
I will exhaust you to the point that you will be relieved when I'm finished with you.
And, when I am finished, you will be weak for days.
All my love,
The Flu
Now, get your mind out of the gutter and go get your flu shot!

Car Loan
Posted by Lisa at Tuesday, March 04, 2008It's been a while that my hubby and I had been wanting to buy a new car. Our old van quit running and our truck needs a paint job. Every time we go to church and park our vehicle I noticed that we have the oldest vehicle in the parking lot. Sometimes I feel embarrassed but I can't do anything. Right now our budget doesn't allow us to buy a new car. Hubby and I talked of applying for a Car Loan so we can buy a new car. There are many loan companies out there but we want to find a loan company with lower interest rates. I've found a website that showcases comparisons and recommended car loans available. The site also have the list of banks in their site where you can apply for a bank car loan. We need to apply for a car loan in this site. I'm so excited to have a new car and I can't wait to get it.
