This is hysterical! If God had a Facebook, what would his feed look like?

Physicist Stephen Hawking says after-life is just a fairy story. I still don’t understand why so many people think you either believe in God or trust in science… that they can’t mesh. I love science and know we can learn a lot about ourselves and our world with science, but it doesn’t negate my belief in God. It also angers and saddens me that scientists refuse to accept any evidence of anything unless it disproves (at least in their minds) the existence of God. Scientists will say that the world is self-sustaining so it could emerge from nothing and therefore did not need a creator. Does it not occur to them that the world’s creator created it to be self-sustaining? Does it not occur to them that when God created light, it didn’t start at the beginning of its path, but it immediately filled the universe to its fullest function? I believe that God gave us minds to study science as a way of understanding our world, and even Him in a better way. I believe that science if the study of God’s creation functions. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made!

This is the coolest kid’s bedroom ever!

Proof that we’ve become desensitized to violence: the School Shooter: North American Tour 2012 video game. Many commentors on this article are saying it’s a hoax, but no one has provided any sources to verify that and there is news footage everywhere of clips of the game. If anyone can provide proof that it’s a hoax let me know and I’ll say so in another post, but if this is true I think every parent should know about it.

Dozens of photos here from the Pacific battle of WWII. I think we should never forget these things. We should never forget the sacrifices of our military and the brave people who fight to defend our country.

This one is embedded. Carrie Underwood (with Vince Gill doing harmony) singing How Great Thou Art! This is probably the BEST Carrie Underwood has ever sounded.
