Kahle Kimo When I see the pain and suffering that has historically gone on in the world, and continues to go on today, I ask myself “When Adam and Eve sinned why didn’t God just squash them like a bug and start over?” Yes, they would have been destroyed but the destruction of the two who disobeyed …

I was talking to an elderly friend yesterday about her getting older and losing her physical and mental abilities, trying to comfort her. This is an explanation I gave her… Have you ever watched a newborn and its mother interact? They gaze intently at each other, she cooing and smiling, the baby just initially staring …
