Ponderable...

The Winds of Fate One ship drives east and another drives west, With the self-same winds that blow, 'Tis the set of the sails And not the gales That tell them the way to go. Like the winds of the sea are the winds of fate, As we voyage along through life, 'Tis the set of the soul That decides its goal And not the calm or the strife. - Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Out of the Mouths of Babes

The conversation in our home this morning as the kids waited for breakfast: Michael: so...God made us...but how did he get our ribs to wrap around our bodies? They're hard. How did he get them to bend like that? Me: **insert brief explanation of DNA chains that contain codes of instructions for the cells as they develop to grow in exactly the way God wants them to grow to create the parts of the body** Michael: There are directions for all of my cells? Me: Yes. Michael: Well, then, why did God give my cells directions so that I would have autism? **crickets chirping** Reese, without missing a beat and with a "well, duh" tone of voice: Because He wanted you to be unique! I love my kids.
