Wii Injury

I saw this story today on FoxNews.  Check out the story here. Wow!  I guess that a lot of people who play the Wii do not pay attention to this warning that they see EVERYTIME they play it!

I don’t understand…

Why don’t things make sense? I have been wondering this for the past couple of days. I think that we have all experienced things in our lives that just do not make sense. How is it that certain things take place and defy logic? How is that you can experience something and be unsure if it really took place? I mean there are things that take place in our lives and we just don’t understand them, there are things that happen and they are miracles, there are things that happen that defy logic.

Take for example, the many things that God asked people to do. He asked people to leave their homes for other countries; he asked a man to kill his sons; he asked a man to build a boat; he asked men to proclaim something that was to come 400 years later; he asked his SON to live a perfect life, die on a cross, and rise from the dead. So many things that God has asked people to do that do not make sense or conform to our logic.

Tony Dungy said in his book, Quiet Strength, “God’s plans don’t always follow human logic.”

So, what has God called you to do that defies your logic?  How did you respond?  How did it workout?
