Don't Quit

When things go wrong as they sometimes will, when the road you're trudging seems as an uphill: When the funds are low and the debts are high: And you want to smile, but you have to sign; When care is pressing you down a bit . . .

The Lord replied : " My son, I love you and i would never leave you, during your times of trial, when you have seen only one set of footprints, it was then when i carried you...

Does Evil Exists?

A university professor challenged his students with this question. "Did God create everything that exists? A student bravely replied, "Yes, He did!" "God created everything?" the professor asked. "Yes, sir," the student replied. The professor answered, "If God created everything, then God created evil, since evil exists. And according to the principal that our works Define who we are, then God is evil." The student became quiet before such an answer. The professor was quite pleased with himself, and boasted to the students that he had proven once more that the faith in God is a myth. Another student raised his hand and said, "Can I ask you a question,professor?" "Of course," replied the professor. The student stood up and asked,"Professor, does cold exist?"
