Why I Raise My Children to Believe in God.

Image
Recent Article from a parent on why she was raising her children without God. Her reasons: Bad role model, not logical, not fair, doesn't protect, not present, not teaching others to be good, narcistic. Some of the points are hard to repute and I don't have to defend God - well because He is. God isn't this thing in a box nor something to be mocked. He isn't logical as in human logic and doesn't have to make sense nor fair because we all deserve Hell but given Grace. He is present as in Immanual. He doesn't teach people to be good.

My Connection to the Hamilton Tigercats

Make no mistake about it ...I'm not a regular NFL fan. I know the teams and some of the players but not a real fan of any team. The only exception might of been the whole "R-E-S-P-E-C-T Yourself era of the Buffalo Bills and Jim Kelley" Anyone else remember that? I remember being asked when I was in Seminary ..wanting to go see some player on the campus of Anderson University ... and people inviting me to see some rival of this Leaf guy ...some guy name Peyton Manning. I passed, and am kicking myself ever since. As a kid I watched hockey. I watched my brother play. I liked the Leafs. Always wanted Hamilton to get a team ... and played outside on the creek backyard and in the Selkirk park. When I was in the 8th grade I broke my leg trying to catch a football.
