Artig historie

Jeg kom tilfeldigvis over denne historien på en blogg jeg var innom.. Syns den var ganske artig:)

A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As
the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They
talked about so many things and various subjects. When they eventually
touched on the subject of God,The barber said: “I don’t believe that God exists.
” Why do you say that?” asked the customer. “Well, you just have to
go out in the street to realize that God doesn’t exist.
Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people?
Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can’t imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things.”
The customer thought for a moment, but didn’t respond because he didn’t want to start an argument. The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkempt. The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber: “You know what? Barbers do not exist.”
“How can you say that?” asked the surprised barber. “I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!”
“No!” the customer exclaimed.” Barbers don’t exist because if they did, there would be no people with
dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside.”
“Ah, but barbers DO exist!” Answered the barber.” What happens, is, people do not come to me.”
“Exactly!”- affirmed the customer. “That’s the point! God, too,DOES exist! What happens, is, PEOPLE DON’T GO TO HIM AND DO NOT LOOK FOR HIM… That’s why there’s so much pain and suffering in the world.”

Back To School

Da er skolen igang igjen. Er siste året mitt i Tvedestrand nå! Det blir spesielt – endelig blir jeg faktisk kruss! (Ja, du leste riktig: jeg skrev kruss, ingen stavefeil)
Det blir spennende å se hvordan dette året blir. Er jo siste året så det er jo liksom nå “det gjelder”. Forhåpentligvis går det litt bedre i år enn ifjor.

Jeg skal, som en av veldig få i min klasse, være kruss, eller kristenruss som det egentlig  heter.  Jeg skal også gå hele russetida uten å drikke alkohol. Det blir veldig spennende å se hvordan det går, men jeg tror nok det skal gå bra. Det jeg gleder meg aller mest til i russetida er Kragerøfestivalen!

I og med at jeg får en del fritimer i år så kanskje jeg kan bli litt flinkere til å blogge. (kan jo late som ihvertfall)
So stay tuned!

Healing Rain – Michael W. Smith

Hadde denne sangen på den forrige bloggen min, men legger den ut her også. Syns teksten er veldig bra!

Healing rain is coming down
It’s coming nearer to this old town
Rich and poor, weak and strong
It’s bringing mercy, it won’t be long

Healing rain is coming down
It’s coming closer to the lost and found
Tears of joy, and tears of shame
Are washed forever in Jesus’ name

Healing rain, it comes with fire
So let it fall and take us higher
Healing rain, I’m not afraid
To be washed in Heaven’s rain

Lift your heads, let us return
To the mercy seat where time began
And in your eyes, I see the pain
Come soak this dry heart with healing rain

And only You, the Son of man
Can take a leper and let him stand
So lift your hands, they can be held
By someone greater, the great I Am

Healing rain, it comes with fire
So let it fall and take us higher
Healing rain, I’m not afraid
To be washed in Heaven’s rain

To be washed in Heaven’s rain…

Healing rain is falling down
Healing rain is falling down
I’m not afraid
I’m not afraid…
