    I am kept awake by dark thoughts of what might have been and even worse... what is yet to be.

    The Purpose of This Life

    Forgive me!!! I did not mean it in that way! Jean Paul Sartre is a philosopher. He does not write about the Bible, but his own experiences! And some of his work is quite beautiful! And yes. You are right. The Scriptures will harmonize if we are interpreting them right!! Some people are too quick...

    Deleting Facebook?

    You can always deactivate your account for a short time and then turn it on again!!! This is what I have done to great effect!! I have not lost any contacts, but they will not disturb my daily life this way! Consider it!

    Is the old testament obsolete?

    Without the Old Testament, the New Testament is not complete!!! These two compliment each other so much!!! Even in their contradictions, they paint a larger picture that is glorious.

    The Purpose of This Life

    Have you ever read any Jean Paul Sartre? His ideas on choice and free will are quite astounding.

    The Purpose of This Life

    I always thought of Ecclesiastes as a cynical and depressing book. But there is a strange beauty about it, I have come to realize.
