Snow.

This is from Jennifer. It is snowing in Arkansas, and she has great pictures of it. Her kids had a fabulous time playing in the snow, and she has great pictures of them. It is 50 degrees in Houston. Here it is not snowing; here it is raining. In 2004, on Christmas Eve, it snowed in Houston, and I was not here. I missed it. So she sends me this picture because she knows it will make me mad all over again.

At least it is not a great picture.

Thoughts on faith.

Musing after church on Sunday...

They say that faith is when you believe in something that you haven't seen, and that to have faith like that is really something special. Personally, I think it's easier to believe in God as some invisible, higher spirit being. I mean, what if Jesus came down and walked among us like He did during New Testament times? What would your response be to some man, probably dressed in rags and not bathed, who went around claiming to be the Son of God? You'd wonder what kind of drugs he'd been doing, that's what. The ancient Hebrews didn't believe Jesus was who He claimed to be, and neither would we; when you get right down to it, people haven't changed much in the last 2000 years. And that's kind of sad, really.
