Every breath we take. I am aware of the God who loves me deeply - He has made his Spirit known to me in a special way that has changed my life - which He gave me! Yeah life can have some pretty hard things -- it can especially be bland when we do not include God in it. God is gentle and will not force your free will -- even at the end of your life Ken you will be given a choice -- do you who came into the world not of your own free will -- and left this world not of your own free will want to spend eternity with a loving God? That is the question you will be asked over and over until you choose -- call it purgatory call it "hell" if you like -- but God will not force you to do anything -- he will attract you and invite you to the glorious banquet the reward for your loving Him and others on earth -- your "try out" to make the team so to speak -- I have to say to you Ken -- even in the difficult times when I do not understand what is going on -- I still have that love of God in my heart -- and there is growth and beauty even in the difficulties and worst things of life -- I also have the advantage of praying for you - not saying this with any superiority or anything -- what I have been given in Jesus and the Father and His Holy Spirit is priceless and I will never let it go and I will share it with as many people - (peacefully - lovingly) as I can because it is too good to keep quiet about !!! All the best blessings of God to you and others on this blog - Dallas360 Just a comment to Ken McKnight - sorry you do not see that this life was given to us by God. Every breath we take.

Yeah life can have some pretty hard things — it can especially be bland when we do not include God in it. God is gentle and will not force your free will — even at the end of your life Ken you will be given a choice — do you who came into the world not of your own free will — and left this world not of your own free will want to spend eternity with a loving God? That is the question you will be asked over and over until you choose — call it purgatory call it “hell” if you like — but God will not force you to do anything — he will attract you and invite you to the glorious banquet the reward for your loving Him and others on earth — your “try out” to make the team so to speak — I have to say to you Ken — even in the difficult times when I do not understand what is going on — I still have that love of God in my heart — and there is growth and beauty even in the difficulties and worst things of life —
I also have the advantage of praying for you - not saying this with any superiority or anything — what I have been given in Jesus and the Father and His Holy Spirit is priceless and I will never let it go and I will share it with as many people - (peacefully - lovingly) as I can because it is too good to keep quiet about !!!

A man tells people to live a decent life and not to worry too much and you condemn him to burn in hell because he doesn't openly espouse a belief in Christ. One, that's not very Christian of you. Two, his lecture was meant to be of use to people of all faiths and just creating further divides by telling people they are going to burn in hell would have been a failure in that respect nor would it have been useful (except to those Christians who have taken it upon themselves to judge everyone else while not tending to their own lives). Three, I don't want to believe in a God that would have a positive view of all the finger wagging that has occurred in the preceding comments. Shameful. Wow.

Please read a booklet by 19th century Bishop of Liverpool, J.C.Ryle entitled "Sickness". It's fantastic the way he explains the Human Condition, the meaning of sickness and suffering.

A friend has given me Pausch's last book, The Last Lecture, to read to my father who had lung cancer. He thought that the book would be an encouragement to him. My father passed away before he could read the book, but it didn't matter. Although the book contained some good tips, i.e. utilize a good filing system, manage your time etc, I found the book to be uninspiring because Pausch doesn't acknowledge God as the Creator,and the giver of all wisdom. Although Pausch had many good qualities and a forceful personality, he did not seem to know the Good News of Jesus Christ who laid down his life that we may be reconciled to God the Father, and have eternal life. Reading the book has left me with a sad, empty feeling. I was glad to find this particular post by searching on Google for more information concerning Randy Pausch.

Take, for example, the human being. He is carried in his mother’s womb for nine months and delivered; he grows up and eventually dies. This cycle is repeated for every single individual. Consistency can be observed. It is not a wild game of chance." Yeah, Naturalistic order is "evidence of design " in the mind of the befuddled believer who conflates order with "design" The fact nature is orderly isn't chaotic show your bizarre inability to understand that Scientists don't claim its chaotic to begin with. “Now let us compare the things in the universe with these characteristics.

Sorry to have to diminish his hero status this way, but the truth must be known. I hope and pray that he finally accepted Christ on his deathbed.

For one Randy has inspired me on many levels. Second he is a man of faith. I have seen his lecture and I have read his book. He states in his book that he chose to not discuss his religous beliefs because he basically wanted to share universal principles that apply to all faiths. no wonder people are so turned away from christianity. Not saying I am not christian but because someone chooses to have different belief systems and philosiphies they are "losers." Please! I have many friends and family memebers that are truly intelligent people and have awesome morals that are not christian. Why do christians think they have it right and belittle anyone who questions otherwise? I for one am open to all religions and all philosiphies. Some christians, not all, are so close minded. It amazes me that some of you were born into christianity and not questioned anything else. YOu follow something completley blinded, instead of seeing what else is out there.
