Still Enamored.
One year ago today, I was tumbling at the San Diego United gymnastics gym, had a terrible landing, and tore a ligament in my ankle. That same night, a guy whom I barely knew stayed after gym hours to help gather my things, let me use him as a crutch, and drive me the 10 yards to my car so that I wouldn’t have to stumble through the parking lot. A year later, that same guy continues to be...

“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be...”
– Jesus; Matthew 6:33-34
Does God exist? (you have to read this!)
A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They talked about so many things and various subjects. They eventually touched on the subject of God.
Barber: I don't believe that God exists.
Customer: Why do you say that?
Barber: 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.

The customer thought for a moment, but didn’t respond because he didn’t want to start an argument. The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again.
Customer: You know what? Barbers don't exist.
Barber: How can you say that? I am here. I am a barber, and I just worked on you!
Customer: No! Barbers don’t exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside.
Barber: Ah, but barbers DO exist! That’s what happens when people do not come to me.
Customer: Exactly! That’s the point! God, too, DOES exist! That’s what happens when people do not go to Him and don’t look to Him for help. That’s why there’s so much pain and suffering in the world.
“My flesh and my heart fail;
But God is the strength of my heart and my portion...”
