God the Father


Whenever your children are out of control, you can take comfort from the thought that even God's omnipotence did not extend to His own children.

After creating heaven and earth, God created Adam and Eve.

The first thing he said was "DON'T!"

"Don't what?" Adam replied.

"Don't eat the forbidden fruit." God said.

"Forbidden fruit? We have forbidden fruit? Hey Eve...we have forbidden fruit!"

"No Way!"

"Yes way!"

"Do NOT eat the fruit! " said God.

"Why?"

"Because I am your Father and I said so!" God replied, wondering why He hadn't stopped creation after making the elephants.

A few minutes later, God saw His children having an apple break and He was ticked!

"Didn't I tell you not to eat the fruit?" God asked.

"Uh huh" Adam replied.

"Then why did you?" said the Father.

"I don't know" said Eve.

"She started it!" Adam said.

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

"DID NOT!"

Having had it with the two of them, God's punishment was that Adam and Eve
should have children of their own.

Thus the pattern was set and it has never changed.

(I love you Dad)

It's gonna be hot...



The record was set back in 1909 at 110 degrees. Todays predicted high is 112...

Is global warming to blame?

Would you like a piece of pie?



With the advice of my friends, including my wife, being of the same nature, I find myself looking at the different ways that man sees God. I think that coming together with others who share the same view of God can only strengthen my life. Alone we can be strong but with the support of others we can only be stronger. Thank you friends for your comments. I probably knew this all along but my whole religious background being of one belief and my family going and getting into the whole ceremonious thing and not including me when they did it, left a bad taste in my mouth for organized religions as a whole. I guess I should open up...

Looking at the chart above, I can see that one third of the world is either Islamic or non-religious. Those two will not work for me and my family. One third is Hindu or Buddhist, or even older religions and the whole reincarnation as a rat if you are bad thing has me afraid to even look at the Hindu way. I like the Buddhist peace but feel awfully alone for the most part there. That leaves the third of the world that practices Christianity. My belief in God is strong and always has been. I only had a distaste for organized religion. (especially the televangelists and bible thumpers screaming 'heal this woman!') Now I just need to find a good place to learn to be closer to him and bring my family closer to him. We can only benefit...
