Ten Year Olds Thoughts on God


Noah sat down and wrote some thoughts about God the other day. He wants to share them in our house church, and I think I'll let him. Might make for an interesting conversation. Here are his words unedited.


The Meaning of Life written Noah S. Farmer


For years man kind has wondered several questions of life From why are we here to what is our purpose .There are four major questions life ,it’s reason ,
Our meaning ,and how we were made .These questions have been growing in our brains day by day and night by night .Every second ,minute ,and hour the question gets bigger and makes us even more insane about it .that’s what drove us into the mess of science .The people who believe science think the world and all existence where made by the Big Bang while on the other hand Christians think God made every thing with his voice .But I think both of them happened I say that God clapped his hands and caused the Big Bang which made every single bit of material and used his voice to make every thing from that material .I also believe that dinosaurs existed . I think they lived before the Garden of Eden but it is likely that it is true .I mean it says in the Bible that one thousand years is like a blink for God and a blink for God is like one thousand years .If you just think about how many times you blink a day and one blink is one thousand years the time in between would give the dinosaurs time to live before the Garden of Eden wouldn’t you agree that is a reasonable explanation I do. Oh I have a joke for you in the Bible when it says one thousand years is like the blink of an eye for God and for God one thousand years is like the blink of an eye .Dose that mean he is so slow that one thousand years pass in the time it takes him blink or dose it mean that time is so fast to him that in the time that he blinks one thousand years will go by in time’s wake ?Man kind might never know .The question is growing just like the question at the beginning of the page how the question of life grows in our heads day by day ,night by night ,and year by year .Questions they just keep on growing in side our minds ,souls ,and spirits. They are like a great big disease that spreads to any body who hear about it maybe questions are the meaning of our life, existence, meaning.
Perhaps we are here to ask and answer questions and to expand our knowledge. It is actually our job to ask questions because God made us to be his friends, because as friends our duty to ask questions because friends ask them. I am not talking about the simple how are you doing questions, I mean the deep down personal thoughts of life. Now I want you to think about it. What is the meaning of your life? Now when you have that answer I want you to write what that thing on a peace of paper so that every day you get sad ,discouraged ,or lonely you can just look at the peace of paper you wrote your meaning on and just think about how great of a meaning it is .And then maybe just maybe you will be filled with joy ,happiness ,and most of all the holy spirit .
(That's my boy! Be Blessed)

Just a Quick Note

Thought I might post while I'm waiting for my lovely bride to finish her shower. It's 6:00 am here and she's getting ready to fly to Dublin for a ServetheCity leaders work/planning weekend. (Who plans an event in the Winter in Ireland?) Pray for her. She love cold weather sooo much.
We are very busy here in Portugal with Christmas coming up. Some how I have found myself being a core person in two Christmas events that are happening the same weekend. One for ICSC (the kids school) and one for The Matrix. Click on the Lisboa Matrix link to get an idea whats going on here.
A quick note before I go, I was given the opportunity to do a Voice Over for a short video last night. (For those who don't know a voice over is when you put narration over a film) It was all about social injustice. That's just what Gods been putting on my heart lately. I talk about that late, when my life doesn't feel like two trains running on the same track. Hope you are seeing the star that leads to Bethlehem and my you find and worship the King. Be Blessed
