Hi,
I haven't had a lot to say or share lately, but this was so good, I had to 
pass it along.

>Does God Exist - Author Unknown

>The Bible says to have an answer for why you believe to those who ask you. 
>This is a good example of an answer to one of the most common reasons 
>sinners give for ignoring God and His goodness.
>
>A man went to a barber shop to have his hair and his beard cut as always. 
>He started to have a good conversation with the barber who attended him. 
>They talked about so many things and various subjects. Suddenly, they 
>touched the subject of God. The barber said: "Look man, I don't believe 
>that God exists as you say."
>
>"Why do you say that?" asked the client.
>
>"Well, it's so easy, you just have to go out in the street to realize that 
>God does not exist. Oh, tell me, if God existed, would there be so many 
>sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there 
>would be no suffering nor pain. I can't think of loving a God who permits 
>all of these things."
>
>The client stopped for a moment thinking, but he didn't want to respond so 
>as to cause an argument. The barber finished his job and the client went 
>out of the shop. Just after he left the barber shop he saw a man in the 
>street with a long hair and beard (it seems that it had been a long time 
>since he had his cut and he looked so untidy).
>
>Then the client again entered the barber shop and he said to the barber: 
>"You know what? Barbers do not exist."
>
>"How can you say they don't exist?" asked the barber. "Well, I am here and 
>I am a barber."
>
>"No!" the client exclaimed. "They don't exist because if they did there 
>would be no people with long hair and beard like that man who walks in the 
>street."
>
>"Ah, barbers do exist, what happens is that people do not come to me."
>
>"Exactly!"- affirmed the client. "That's the point. God 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."

Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.
