the Word

back to the Intelligent design thing (yes I'm still thinking about this), one of the big arguments Strobel gives for God creating us is DNA. DNA is a 4 letter code, double-helix, incredible amount of information inside every single cell, blah blah blah. He's talking about how virtually impossible it is for random chance to account for all that information. Think of the example of having a chimp draw out scrabble letters and the unlikelihood of him writing Hamlet by chance. The information requirements for DNA are on a much larger scale than even Shakespeare. Thus, some kind of intelligent mind had to have produced it (GOD.) So this morning I'm reading John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.
Well DUH! Jump down to verse 4 and 5 and tell me what that means.

Yesterday I had to keep Zachary home from school because he'd been running a fever. But it was class picture day, and I couldn't not have him in the picture, now could I? No definite time for the pictures, just as they got the kids in there. So Zachary and I hung out at the church waiting. This kid was in heaven (ha!) He got to explore all the nooks and crannies he's been wanting to explore. He found the stairs to the balcony in the sanctuary and I followed him up and down again and again. Finally his class is in the fellowship hall for pictures. Every other child is sitting on the floor minding Janota and Denise--except my son. He was Buzz Lightyear yesterday, and kept trying to liberate the toys from behind the curtain. Running in circles and yelling. Trying to get his picture taken more than his fair share of times. I asked Janota if this performance was for my benefit. She told me he was likely to be that way if I wasn't there. Is my child hyperactive? He can sit still--if he wants to. He can focus on something if he wants to. Most of the time he just doesn't want to. He'll just go ahead and do what he wants and deal with the consequences later--if you can catch him...
