I was reading an article and came across these two quotes...
Atheist Julian Huxley, grandson of “Darwin’s Bulldog” Thomas Huxley, famously said many years ago that the reason he and many of his contemporaries “accepted Darwinism even without proof, is because we didn‘t want God to interfere with our sexual mores.”
Professor Thomas Nagel of NYU more recently wrote, “It isn’t just that I don’t believe in God and, naturally, hope that I’m right in my belief. It’s that I hope there is no God! I don’t want there to be a God; I don’t want the universe to be like that. My guess is that this cosmic authority problem is not a rare condition and that it is responsible for much of the scientism and reductionism of our time.”
The sad thing is these men don't just stop at themselves not believing but must justify themselves by trying to lead others astray. They deny the truth because they cannot (or more correctly will not) control their desires. They want to do what they want to do. My heart breaks for these poor lost souls, they don't even know that they are choosing a second of pleasure over an eternity of life and joy with the one who loves them the most.
And the sad thing with Huxley and why he belives Dawinism is that now it is being taught in our schools. If we follow his reasoning for believing that then we are teaching our children darwinism so that they can have sex or do whatever their hearts desire with no guilt or remorse. No wonder we are fat in America, no wonder we are apathetic, no wonder we have multiple partners and that divorce is more common then a longtime loving marriage. No wonder we have children being molested and girls being raped. Our nation doesnt like anything that says no. Or even moderation. There are so many hurting people. I don't know how to help them or reach them but God does and even while I sit here he has placed situations and people in their lives to lead them back to Him, I just pray they stop shutting their eyes.

Please return to China
Yesterday as I was walking through a department store and over the loud speaker I heard "Sue please return to China" ok so my immediate thought was wow, how rude to tell her to return to China! I knew that they couldnt be really saying that but it did take me awhile to realize china as in plates and whatnot. I was apparently a bit behind the curve yesterday.
April 1st is fast approaching, I feel a little more where I need to be after yesterday. Yesterday morning I awoke from a nightmare that it was April 1st already! I was calling our other PR lady and asking her how it came up so fast. Also there were mean customers being grumpy about popcorn, bla. It's all coming together, but it is hard to have a divided mind. And starting next month we will be doing multiple trips to meet with people. I'm excited to talk to people but not about working Monday thru Friday and then leaving Friday night and getting back Sunday night. And in that time probably also still doing dinners at the house at night. I can't wait until we are funded enough that I can cut work hours and focus more on fundraising. I'm definitly getting worn out. But God has been good and doing amazing things. And I am looking forward to April 1st, I enjoy it and enjoy making sure the things I can manage go well. I just need to not stress about the things that I have no control of. Thanks for listening (reading) my vent ;)

God is good
Today we had a meeting about the Morro Bay store 1 year anniversary and Cookie Crock's 38 years on the central coast anniversary. I'm overwhelmed on how quickly it snuck up but so excited to get started. I love the organizing and making it all work!
I'm also trying to knit way to much. I have started knitting like I read, I have at least 3 knitting projects started. There are three baby showers coming up and I wanted to make a few things for each and well we will see if I am able to do all I wanted or if everyone will just end up with one pair of booties and a hat.
Tom is currently attending a scuba diving class. Last year for his bday he got enough gift cards for lessons and he was always so busy he didnt get around to it. Then this year he got more gift cards for equipment so he is all set and he is in the process. He will be done the end of March, his last ocean dive we are all going (my dad, mom and me). There will be three dives that day, the first two he will have to do with his instructor to take some tests but then the last one he can hang out with the rest of us! I'm excited, I know he will enjoy it.
On the Navigators side of things, God is good. We currently are in the running for fastest fundraising (helps that Tom is able to do it full time). We only need 75% to start doing some ministry and so we were really hoping we would be there before summer so we could start meeting students. It is definitly looking good, we are so excited. People have been so gracious with what God has given them. I can't wait to get started!
