I am happiest to be Wife & Mom. And now Grandma. My kids, my "Otherkids" (wicked steps included) my husband and my mother-in-law are the best people I know. And my big brothers, their spouses, their kids, and my friends. I miss my parents, especially my Mom. Dad & I didn't have the chance to really get to know each other til I was an adult. He had to leave when I turned 9.I would never, ever, offend another on purpose. These comments are only here as a teeny tiny window into what makes me tick. And sometimes, the battery goes a little low, and the hamster gets tired...so don't think after reading any of this profile that I would spend even a nanosecond putting another person down for their beliefs. It's just that I truly believe this stuff, and feel there's plenty of evidence to sustain it's validity.:)"I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation...Romans 1:16a"A Moment in History...That a maker is required for anything that is made is a lesson Sir Isaac Newton
was able to teach forcefully to an atheist-scientist friend of his. Sir Isaac
had an accomplished artisan fashion for him a small scale model of our solar
system which was to be put in a room in Newton’s home when completed. The
assignment was finished and installed on a large table. The workman had done a
very commendable job, simulating not only the various sizes of the planets and
their relative proximities, but also so constructing the model that everything
rotated and orbited when a crank was turned. It was an interesting, even
fascinating work, as you can imagine, particularly to anyone schooled in the
sciences.Newton’s atheist-scientist friend came by for a visit. Seeing the model, he was
naturally intrigued, and proceeded to examine it with undisguised admiration for
the high quality of the workmanship. ‘My! What an exquisite thing this is!’ he
exclaimed. ‘Who made it?’ Paying little attention to him, Sir Isaac answered,
‘Nobody.’Stopping his inspection, the visitor turned and said: ‘Evidently you did not
understand my question. I asked who made this. Newton, enjoying himself
immensely no doubt, replied in a still more serious tone. ‘Nobody. What you see
just happened to assume the form it now has.’ ‘You must think I am a fool!’ the
visitor retorted heatedly, ‘Of course somebody made it, and he is a genius, and
I would like to know who he is.’Newton then spoke to his friend in a polite yet firm way: ‘This thing is but a
puny imitation of a much grander system whose laws you know, and I am not able
to convince you that this mere toy is without a designer and maker; yet you
profess to believe that the great original from which the design is taken has
come into being without either designer or maker! Now tell me by what sort of
reasoning do you reach such an incongruous conclusion?’Sir Isaac Newton Solar System Story (from the book: ‘The Truth: God or
evolution?’ by Marshall and Sandra Hall, Baker Book House, Grand Rapids, MI)
