I still cry every time I think of the movie the Soloist. Mr Ayers is an amazing person!!!

Funny Story about Hell if True

I normally do not post a forwarded email, but this was 
really funny if true

The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington 

chemistry mid-term.  The answer by one student was so "profound" that 

the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, 

why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well.  

Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)? 

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when 

it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.

One student, however, wrote the following:

First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know 

the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. 

I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. 

Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look 

at the different religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state 

that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell.  Since there is more 

than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, 

we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can 

expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially.

Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states 

that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of 

Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.  

This gives two possibilities:

1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then 

the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.

2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the 

temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.

So which is it? If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year 

that, "It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you," and take into account the fact 

that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that 

Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over.  

The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not 

accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct......leaving only Heaven, thereby 

proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept 

shouting "Oh my God."

A couple of great thoughts matched to the actual verses

It’s our job to establish Kingdom in our everyday life no matter where we go, who we meet or who is for us or against us. Matthew 13:36-43

The Parable of the Weeds Explained

³⁶Then he left the crowd and went into the house. His disciples came to him and said, "Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field."

³⁷He answered, "The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man. ³⁸The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one, ³⁹and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.

⁴⁰"As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. ⁴¹The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. ⁴²They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. ⁴³Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.

Pastors and teachers take note: Jesus made time for Q&A after he spoke. So why do you speak then run to the back room? Matthew 14:22

²²Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd.

Wow, This is a great read. The last paragraph says a lot,

When I got to the TSA agent at airport security, she looked at my ID, smiled, and said, “So, you’re Jim Wallis! I hope you felt very welcome here; many of us are very glad you came.” I did feel very welcome and am very glad that I came.
