Remebering September 11th
As we remembered last week in class on Cultural Thursday the events that took place on September 11th 2001 we are reminded of the lives that were lost as well as the unity that was displayed throughout the United States following this event.
Though most of you were 5 or 6 the day this happened, this moment in history will live forever and will never be forgotten. It is our generations pearl harbor.
There were a lot of questions that were raised about this day, and are still be raised today.
A lot of people were confused as to what was going on as well as who would let this happen.
Many people blamed this on God, and wondered how God could let something like this happen to innocent people. This is a good question.
So, what I want you to do is to respond to this question, or at least how would you respond to someone who would ask you this question today?
Maybe a friend lost a love one a tragic and expecting way, maybe friends are wondering why God let's bad things happen to good people. Whatever it may be, how would you answer someone when they ask you where God is? Why is He not stopping this?
Respond to these questions:
1) Why does God let bad things happen to good people?
2) Where is God in these events?
Happy reading and responding

Life Without Limbs
A quote from Nick Vujicic today in our class for cultural Thursday:
"It's time that we be bold and take stand for ourselves and others...God has a plan for you"
Today we watched a inspiring video about being a child of God. As we can see from Nick that he has had some difficult circumstances in life. Times where he wished he wasn't even alive.
But, he says that the greatest joy in his life is hearing this from God: "Nick, I love you, and everything is going to be okay. Those words changed my life..."
We see from Nick that he has cast his cares and his burdens on God and that he encourages us to find out identity in God and not in what we think it should be.
Don't get me wrong, I know that there are things that we do not like about ourselves. Things that we wish we could change or make different.
But if you remember from our class discussions and the video that God has given us a privilege, a gift. He has made us unique and individual.
What is a couple ways that you can use your gifts or abilities for God?
Why is it hard to be comfortable with who you are and what you can do?
Is it easier to pick on others than to be stick up for them?
Let me know what you think, and add a question if you want
