In the midst of that catastrophe, there were stories of unlikely, seemingly miraculous survivals, like a toddler who floated on a mattress for five hours before she was rescued. But more than 100,000 people were not rescued. A six month old Australian baby, Melina Heppell, was torn by the waters from her father’s arms. Tamara Mendis, the wife of a Chicago Lutheran pastor, was visiting her family in Sri Lanka when the waters overwhelmed her train and took her life. To say Melina and Tamara were in the wrong place at the wrong time doesn’t begin to explain why any place should undergo such a time.</div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>“The problem of evil” arises out of certain assumptions that if there is a God, then God is a certain way. God is the all-powerful designer, manufacturer, and ruler of the world. God is loving, good, and kind. Up against that, we experience a world in which horrible things happen. Everything must be the way God wants it. Then why are things so bad? All of the attempted answers to that question have a name – “theodicy.” It means, in the words of John Milton, “to justify the ways of God to man.” We will begin by examining the main theodicies of Christian tradition, the main ways Christian theologians have tried to make sense of this conundrum. . . . .</div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;"></div>B.

As creatures, we are mortal, so we die. Sad as that may be, it is just how it is. But why can’t God make us immortal? One reason is that life is meaningful only if it is made up of real choices. Without death, we do not really have to make choices. Having only one limited life to live means our choices count. Only if choices count, only if they really are choices from among a limited number of opportunities, do we have real freedom. Mortality is the tragic but essential context for authentic human life.<br /><div style="min-height: 14px;"><br /></div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Not only does mortality make life choices meaningful, it makes life precious.  In Marilynne Robinson’s novel, <i>Gilead</i>, when old pastor Ames is approaching death, he says,<br /><br /><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I feel sometimes as if I were a child who opens its eyes<br /><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>on the world once and sees amazing things  it will never know<br /><div style="margin-left: 72px; text-indent: -72px;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>any names for  and then has to close its eyes again. I know all this is all a mere apparition compared to what awaits us, but it is only lovelier for that. There is a human beauty to it. And I can’t believe that when we have been changed  and put on incorruptibility that we will forget our fantastic condition  of mortality and impermanence,  the great bright dream of procreating and perishing  that meant the whole world to us. In eternity, this world  will be Troy . . .  and all that has passed here will be the epic of the universe,  the song they sing in the streets. </div><div style="min-height: 14px;"> <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></div>Our mortal, vulnerable condition makes life precious and beautiful. It makes our choices meaningful. Some forms of suffering (loneliness, limitation, temptation, and anxiety) “belong to the human condition.” They  are necessary to all that we value and love in life. They are inherent in being human and essential to our fulfilling our spiritual potential. Theologian Douglas John Hall calls these hardships “integrative suffering.”<br /><div style="min-height: 14px;"><br /></div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Frailty, faults, and death make compassion possible. They are the context of personal relationships that could not exist among more angelic beings. Czeslaw Miloz wrote in his poem “In A Parish,”<br /><div style="min-height: 14px;"><br /></div><div style="min-height: 14px;"><br /></div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Had I not been frail and half broken inside<br /><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I would not think of them, who are like myself half broken inside.<br /><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I would not climb the cemetery hill by the church<br /><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>To get rid of my self-pity.<br /><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Crazy Sophies.<br /><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Michaels who lost every battle,<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span><br /><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Self-destructive Agathas<br /><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Lie under crosses with their dates of birth and death, And who<br /><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Is going to express them? Their mumblings, weepings, hopes, tears<br /><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>of humiliation ? . . .<br />.<br /><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>There is some truth in the idea that mortality gives makes life precious, poignant, and meaningful. It is also true that vulnerability is essential to truly human relationship. Spiritual teachers from several traditions have prescribed practicing awareness of our impending death as a way to sharpen our appreciation of life. “Keep death at your left shoulder,” some say. “<i>Memento mori</i>”—“remember death,” we used to inscribe on tombstones.<br /><div style="min-height: 14px;"><br /></div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>But that argument only defends the fact that life is subject to some limits. It does not justify the extent of human suffering or the randomness with which people die. It does not justify life ending prematurely or slowly with frailty and senility. It does not justify pain and disability. Much of our vulnerability is quite unnecessary to make life meaningful and beautiful. The Christian tradition does not posit, in the Hall’s words, “a God who actually wills the massive, unbearable, or seemingly absurd suffering of the creature – <i>any</i> creature! A deity personally and directly responsible for all the agony of earth would be unrecognizable as God from the perspective of biblical faith.

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="MsoNormal">IWS Radio is proud to name Jennifer Aniston as our “Person of the Week!” <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">By all accounts Jennifer Aniston is a swell person. She’s smart and funny and seems to be a genuinely down to earth, easy-going babe. She also just happens to sport an iconic haircut, be drop-dead gorgeous and have killer legs. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw3wNwL2na2wsV9xLFIIyowfZPtXLjv47PrnWkKhyphenhypheng87NGXADHrdsccFZSX-T87_KCzyNqhoTAi794WFFYRQo4QnEFecGvPxFTCgzGIa7EKSy2eZnUHFF79x0Rm3R3-_Xq2N-FwLdbTb6C/s1600/Jennifer+Aniston+Legs+Sexy+Hot.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw3wNwL2na2wsV9xLFIIyowfZPtXLjv47PrnWkKhyphenhypheng87NGXADHrdsccFZSX-T87_KCzyNqhoTAi794WFFYRQo4QnEFecGvPxFTCgzGIa7EKSy2eZnUHFF79x0Rm3R3-_Xq2N-FwLdbTb6C/s400/Jennifer+Aniston+Legs+Sexy+Hot.jpg" width="266" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><br /></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal">All of this is really great and rather fortuitous because her movies just suck. The only movie she’s ever been in that I actually remember liking is “Office Space” way back in the day. That movie was a riot and she was soooooo damn cute in it. After that? Not so much. Oh sure, she’s looked good in all her movies, but the movies themselves have been pretty crappy. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Jennifer is a superstar who burst onto the scene in wildly overrated “Friends.” Yes, she did win both a Golden Globe and an Emmy for playing Rachel Green. For the life of me I have no idea how she actually won any awards for her acting. Oh yeah …. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhpG36ORC8aNDcRH8fThb_GbpkbqJ4XNTijDyCQgGYhI92ghYViggyfk5r7ExtiNvk68M7Bk9-OtNB0732v9yZEehSd70EkJioovtmY4F6jvJhfO90857o6BfJs63bgQ0n8oP_-Af9c-Zn/s1600/Friends-jennifer-aniston-nipples.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhpG36ORC8aNDcRH8fThb_GbpkbqJ4XNTijDyCQgGYhI92ghYViggyfk5r7ExtiNvk68M7Bk9-OtNB0732v9yZEehSd70EkJioovtmY4F6jvJhfO90857o6BfJs63bgQ0n8oP_-Af9c-Zn/s400/Friends-jennifer-aniston-nipples.jpg" width="305" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><br /></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal">Anyhoodle, after “Friends” mercifully went away (well, they stopped making new episodes, obviously thanks to syndication it will NEVER go away) Mz. Aniston decided it was time to conquer the world of movies. She did so too with one crappy flop after another. Oh sure there were a few in there that did okay at the box office, but only if her costars could bring a decent audience. Like maybe Jim Carrey in “Bruce Almighty.” <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">To Jen’s credit she does appear to have a decent hit going right now with “We’re the Millers.” As with other box office success it helps her immensely to have Jason Sudeikis as her costar. Oh and did I mention she plays a stripper and even does a little striptease routine? Non-nude, of course.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpzllLn-BebO9AooOVFJYBO0UOZrPIetEB_rI1bCjgk_k0vqbSkXqDLCTPji-f5xoFOtDGGG2sDRTCvsRbh5Jxatkv7dcnEuB8HK169ML-EHtKU3tmNlMY_SJMs9IKb_T-NtqYrXCsbpgZ/s1600/Jennifer+Aniston+Stripper+Nude+Hot.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpzllLn-BebO9AooOVFJYBO0UOZrPIetEB_rI1bCjgk_k0vqbSkXqDLCTPji-f5xoFOtDGGG2sDRTCvsRbh5Jxatkv7dcnEuB8HK169ML-EHtKU3tmNlMY_SJMs9IKb_T-NtqYrXCsbpgZ/s640/Jennifer+Aniston+Stripper+Nude+Hot.jpg" width="384" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><br /></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal">Which brings me to my final point about Jennifer Aniston. Have you ever noticed that every year it seems that there is a story that Aniston is finally ready to do a nude scene in her next movie? And have you ever noticed that the reported nude scene never happens? Me too. That’s why I signed and Tweeted the <a href="http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/jennifer-aniston-boycott/">Jennifer Aniston boycott petition</a> and think you should too! As long is Jen is going to keep teasing us with possible nudity and not delivering we shouldn’t pay to watch her movies! <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">That aside, congrats to Jennifer Aniston for being named IWS’ “Person of the Week!” <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSKPUBUY0FXTxUbJENBFwbEKiNWVRIgH45rvGNzU-gjKKQmwT_DPURZVHZ1AHJmY1_MAL6fANlPCaCUTR9NG6Y1YyZdw0F-BpFlO3YpiSQnNRoxdYPD2ceGvXQKGxI4MCGtMLtXbawpdyV/s1600/Jennifer+Aniston+Nude+Boobs+Hot+sexy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSKPUBUY0FXTxUbJENBFwbEKiNWVRIgH45rvGNzU-gjKKQmwT_DPURZVHZ1AHJmY1_MAL6fANlPCaCUTR9NG6Y1YyZdw0F-BpFlO3YpiSQnNRoxdYPD2ceGvXQKGxI4MCGtMLtXbawpdyV/s640/Jennifer+Aniston+Nude+Boobs+Hot+sexy.jpg" width="384" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><br /></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><br /></o:p></div><br /><div class="MsoNormal">And be sure to catch us on IWS Sunday at 12 Noon ET as we celebrate the “<a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/im-with-stupid/2013/08/11/dog-days-of-summer">Dog Days of Summer</a>!”</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div></div>

On being nice...

Being nice.  Why is it such a foreign concept? it amazes me how people can hide behind the anonymity of the internet and write truly horrible things about other people.  Adult people.  I just don't get it.  There are real people behind the blogs and stories online.<br /><br />Is it really so hard to be nice when you're a grown up?<br /><br />It's not just online, it's in person too.  Is it really necessary to have backhanded comments about people when they leave a room?  Are we still in middle school?<br /><br />It's a small world.  Really friggin small world.  We think it's huge.  It's not.<br /><br />You never know when you find that a blogger that has more in common than you first expect.  One blogger from 'round these parts grew up in the same housing complex that I did.  Neither of us live anywhere near this state anymore.  We didn't know each other but rode our bikes on the same sidewalks, sledded on the same hill, played on the same swings, and our parents washed clothes in the same machines.  True story.  Small world.<br /><br />You never know when another blogger is your current neighbor.  Well, not quite neighbor, but plenty close to be obsessed with the same store and frequent the same restaurants.  Right under our fingers, here in the great big world wide web, there's my neighbor.  And there you go again, small world.<br /><br /><br />I went to a birthday party today.  One I'd been dreading.  It's my son's BFF.  The two are inseparable at preschool and I forced myself to do the right thing for my child.  I've never cared much for the mother, thought some ugly things about her too.  But i made it a point to keep those thoughts to myself.  Glad I did and I'm glad I forced  myself to give her a chance.  I talked to her for a long time and found out I really really liked her.  I have a new friend now and so does she.<br /><br />I met her husband and had the <i>best</i> time talking to him also.  We hit it off big time.  And I liked his brothers and their wives and girlfriends too.  I had a level of comfort with them that I can't quite explain.  Finally asked what part of the country they were from (their accents were clearly from the general area I was from).  Well, there you go.  One lives in that same town I (and that blogger mentioned above) am from, another brother from the same county, and the rest of them in a neighboring county.  Small world.<br /><br />We're a good 500-600 miles away from this place.  This was an unbelievable coincidence.  <br /><br />I stayed hours past what should have been my welcome.  I quickly became one with their family.  My long suppressed accent came back out as we all laughed and had a great time.  The difference between the accent I usually hold and the one that came back today are day and night.<br /><br />I was told the 'tude that came back home with the accent wasn't appreciated.  I'm sitting here working on my drawl while I tame that wild side back down where she belongs.<br /><br />A really close friend was hurt terribly by commenters on her blog.  It's a funny mommy blog, pure comedy and nothing more.  Everything is her running commentary on the things her kids say and do.  It's stuff we all think at one time or another but can't possibly say out loud. Many live vicariously through her humor.  She was attacked.  Her facebook page was suspended due to their complaints.  She can have that back by now, I think, but doesn't want it.  She took down her blog.   I've known her forever, before she even had kids and long before a blog.  She's a great person and doesn't deserve to be brought to tears.  The blog was a part-time income for her.  So it's like she's lost her dignity and her job and her comedic outlet all in one swoop.  <br /><br />Which then got me thinking about all the nonsense in these parts of blogland a few months ago too.  Same thing.  Well, totally different, but still bullies hiding behind the anonymity of the internet.<br /><br />It's just all stupid.<br /><br />If you can't sign your real name to something, or you couldn't say it in person to the face of the other, why bother saying it?<br /><br />You don't know if that person you're talking about is someone you know, someone you once knew, someone you will know in the future, or your mom's best friend.<br /><br />It probably isn't.<br /><br />But one thing is for sure.  It's a living, breathing human being with feelings.

On being nice...

How To Target A Exercise Intend To Your Personality

<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Mohamed Willoughby</div><br /><br /> <div class='uawarticle'>Do you make plans to exercise and then never follow-through? Do you always take the easy way to get anywhere? Do you wish you were fitter? This short article will describe just how to achieve your fitness goals. It is easier than you might expect.<br /> <br /> Reduce anxiety in your muscles and prevent damage by warming-up before working out. Sufficiently warming-up can loosen up rigid muscles and have the blood flowing for them. Quick movements on muscles which have not been properly warmed-up before exercise may result in pulled muscles, ranges, and also tears.<br /> <br /> Walking is a great exercise. Walking is easy to do very nearly everywhere and most anybody could get it done. Walking can help increase your metabolism. In addition it helps you to reduce blood pressure and heart rate. Walking is also good to strengthen muscle tissue and enable you to lose excess body fat.<br /> <br /> Whatever <a href="http://sciencefiction-forum.com/burn-the-fat-feed-muscle-could-this-function-as-the-secret-you/">exercise schedule</a> you choose, be sure to include cardio-vascular exercise. Staying heart and lung healthy is extremely important, and a cardio work-out is going to do just that to your body. Make an effort to do half-hour of cardio or aerobic fitness exercise at least three times a week. This could simply take the form of running, biking, utilizing a treadmill or elliptical coach, or swimming. Remember not to over-do it. If you get lacking breath, you should have a break until your heartrate drops down.<br /> <br /> A really good way to get fit would be to begin using dumbells at the gym. Plenty of people are threatened by free weights and often stick with models. Dumbbells are better than machines because they use more muscle fibers. Just be sure that you understand how to properly conduct lifts.<br /> <br /> Add music to your exercise routine. Hearing music in your i-pod while working out will keep you opting for much longer than if you are doing repetitive exercises in a quiet area. Music will make you feel energized and help you keep pace by following the defeat. Assembled a certain exercise playlist, offering tracks that you know could keep you on track.<br /> <br /> When you're working out, keep your weight lifting time to under sixty minutes. After one hour of weight lifting, the body will start to produce more cortisol, which could be the stress hormone that could prevent the testosterone needed to develop muscles. This will waste the muscles rather than build them.<br /> <br /> Running is one of the most readily useful forms of exercise you may do to get involved with shape. Take to your best to at the very least attempt a trot every other day approximately. You can slowly increase your rate and before you know it, you're burning plenty of calories. When it comes to running it is all a mind-set, therefore get your mind strong and the body will follow.<br /> <br /> A good way to get fit is to start eating more vegetables. Vegetables are packed with important vitamins and nutrients and if you are not eating enough, you're not doing all your body any favors. An easy way to be sure you are eating enough veggies is to just drop a couple of them in to a salad.<br /> <br /> If you need to run or walk your way to fitness, make sure to take security precautions to stay and others safe. Take to working in the opposite direction of traffic so you can see oncoming cars in busy traffic. It is also safer to operate or walk through the day in order to be viewed easier. Having a partner also contributes to safety. But, take to moving in a single-file line in order to avoid large groups which could endanger members.<br /> <br /> </div><br /> <div class='uawresource'><br /> <div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><br /> <div class='uawlinks'>You may follow most of these simple words and notice a rise in how you look and feel very quickly. Fitness is not to be used lightly and by keeping a proper routine you will <a href="http://nicocamarasa.com/2013/04/burn-the-fat-works-when-other-weight-reduction-options-fail/">steadily raise your body's physical</a> and emotional fortitude. Regardless of how big or small, you can accomplish the same.</div><br /> </div><br />

The new find the video claims, while offering great financial rewards to a country with a wobbly economy, to say the least, has at the same time been SYRIA’S curse. According to the video, this discovery is the real reason behind the Syrian civil war, a war that was instigated by the “Jews, who control 100 percent of the world media.”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">According to the report SYRIA’S new find will place it ahead of QATAR, currently one of the world’s largest producers of natural gas.
