Talking at the Coffee Shop

Right now I'm talking to Dave at the coffee shop and showing him how blogs work.

Long Time No Write

I finally finished the laborious semester of teaching and taking two on-line courses. They were difficult. Small Business Management and Intro. to Marketing each took hours a week of serious investment of my energy, but it was worth it, and I learned a lot. The semester was difficult as far as teaching went. Of course, I had some really great students, but I also had some pains. I guess that goes with the territory. I've been reading a very interesting book lately What God Wants by Neale Donald Walsh.

In one of my many favorite parts of the book Walsh writes, "You and love cannot be separated in any way, for love is what God is, and you are not separate from God, nor were you ever, nor will you ever be" (126).

Walsh scoffs at the threats of Hell; he writes "We have been told of a God whose justice is perfect. Yet why would a God who is vulnerable to nothing and cannot be hurt or damaged in any way need to punish anyone for anything, much less sentence them to torture?" (89)

Good question.
