Exactly four months into 2009 and already so many lessons learned.
One in particular that sticks out in my mind? With the good, comes the bad. But sometimes the bad is good. Make sense?
How else would you learn lessons if you didn't have anything treacherous pop up along side you in life? If life was peachy all the time, we'd be really bored ... and really sick of peaces, I'd presume.
Totally off topic, but ...
Someone asked me a really random question that kind of caught me off guard. "Do Christian's believe in dinosaurs?" As much as I'd like to say yes, (I have an intense love for the Pterodactyl), I'm going to have to go with no. As I don't believe in science backed-up theories, (I believe in what the bible says, and that's it), there sure is evidence of T-Rex and all this friends. But when Noah built the ark before the flood, God told Noah to put two of every animal on the ark. I don't know about you, but in every story I've ever heard of the flood, and of every picture I've seen artistically drawing out the chronological events of the building of the ark, leading to the actual flood itself, I do not remember seeing T-Rex hanging out with the camels and the zebras. Did the dino's just not fit on the ark, or were there really no dinosaurs?
Not once in the bible is the word "dinosaur" mentioned. Unless Noah made a laundry list of all of the animals entering the ark, we really don't know who the lucky recipients of the tickets to the ride on the ark were given to. Think of it this way. "Dinosaurs existed millions of years ago." You hear it all the time in any dinosaur statistic that you come across. BUT, us Christians believe that the bible goes back a good 6,000 years. If you're up for the challenge, read the bible with a highlighter in hand, and highlight how many times you read the word dinosaur. I guarantee that your highlighter will have just as much ink inside when you finish, as when you started. And for those of you who are reading inbetween the lines, no, there were not baby dinosaurs on the ark. That's just nonsense.
Saying that there were dinosaurs on the ark, is like saying that there were unicorns there too. I'm pretty sure that a horse with a giant head tooth wasn't there, enjoying the ride.
I'm kind of glad that this blog went completely off topic. I could have really put a dent in your night with the story I was actually saving for you guys. I'll spare you.
