Doom, Gloom, and the Problem of Pain

Man, Ive been pretty busy lately. Maybe I will get a chance to have a little time to myself this week. My brother plays football for Alabama so Ive been going to the games, thats been fun. Only 3 more weeks left, Im kinda sad about it....but then there will be the bowl game.

Anyway, to the Doom & Gloom...I've been alittle down...not too bad just seemingly in a constant PMS mood or something. Im a bit emotional. My sisters birthday is tomorrow and thats always hard for me. I get kinda crappy around this time every year. I dont do well in the winter for some reason. So far, so good though...Im not too crazy yet, thank heavens (I sound like my grandmother).

Being in the yucky mood I have been in, Ive tried to do some stuff to keep my mind on other things. Ive been reading The Problem of Pain by CS Lewis. If youve never read it, its like 5 bucks at books a million, its very interesting. It attempts to explain how a loving God could let us feel the pain we feel. I am still digesting it as I go, but Im sure I will have an opinion to share soon. If anyone has read it, I'd like to know what you think....and if you havent read it, its not a long book and its a pretty interesting read.

I hope everyone has a safe Halloween, stear clear of goblins and things of that nature.
