Alicia, thank you so much for thinking about Rob and I. It is always nice to know that someone does care. I am always reading ur entrys and I think they are wonderful.You are such a good writer, and a good thinker lol. I am sure that Rob will be okay, he had a choice between two surgerys, and the one he is picking is alot safer and he wont loose his leg. However he wont ever move his anckle again preventing him from walking correctly. Their will always be some disadvantages but I think of it this way, at least it wasnt his life. Im a way im thankful.

You are being very strong, Heather. I'm sure Rob appreciates it the most. I'm just glad that with the surgery he's picking, he'll be fine and able to lead a normal life. Also, thank you for reading my entries. You're right, "it is always nice to know that someone does care."

Personally, and actually more recently, I've come to the belief that everybody has a certain measure of adversity in their lives. God actually talks about it in the Bible, though unfortunately I can't think of any references off-hand. But just think about it. What kind of contentment would a perfect life bring? If you didn't know what a hardship felt like, you couldn't ever appreciate the happiness when it's all over. You know? And He makes it very clear that we all have a different amount of hardships. I mean, it gets complicated in the way that.. if you're making stupid choices all over the place, you're DEFINATELY going to have a heck of a lot of stuff wrong with you. Since God promises to watch over people who are making honest attempts to do everything that He says (keeping in mind that sin isn't a "don't do this" command, but a "don't hurt yourself by doing this"), they won't have to deal with a lot of the things that the others do. But still, God will give them a perfect amount of bad things in order to shape them into the kind

Many of my friends will attest to the fact that I actually used to be a devout christian. While I lived with my mother, I carried a bible to school everyday and went to church and youth group on my own. I did that for over two years until I realized it was going nowhere. I stopped believing and found that the things affecting me were a direct result of my own choices. No one was helping me. So that was when I came to the conclusion that everything is science. What cannot be proven isn't there. Free will triumphs over fate. Organized religion is a waste of time. And that's what I believe. I'm not saying that I'll never change my mind again, but it's working for me right now.
