Religion

 In the mid ‘60s when I was in junior high, I was part of LaRue County School’s Physical Fitness team. We were one of the first school districts to embrace President Kennedy’s push for exercise and physical education in schools.

We would travel throughout our region performing at PTO meetings and even appeared on a Louisville TV station demonstrating a variety of exercises from gymnastics to basic exercise moves. The familiar exercises of today were unheard of and the whole concept of P.E. was in its infancy.

 Recently I came upon a reflection about creation, our whole universe, that noted we are made of the same materials as the stars.  

In my heart of hearts, I am not sure about that, but verifying it is a major project for our scientists.

As it is, all creation here on Planet Earth is composed of currently 118 elements. Wikipedia tells us that 98 of them occur naturally. Eighty are stable, others are radioactive and evolve or decay over extremely long or short times, and others are human made from various nuclear reactions.  

When God was going to redeem the world, he was faced with a difficult problem: How can I love the sinner and punish his sin at the same time?

The cross was the answer. In Calvary we see the law of God and the love of God.  We see the justice of God and the mercy of God.
