A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed.
As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation.
They talked about so many things and various subjects. When they
eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said: "I don't believe that God
exists."
"Why do you say that?" asked the customer.
"Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God
doesn't exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people?
Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would be neither
suffering nor pain. I can't imagine a loving a God who would allow all of these
things."
The customer thought for a moment, but di dn't respond because he
didn't want to start an argument. The barber finished his job and the customer
left the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street
with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and
unkempt.
The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said
to the barber: "You know what? Barbers do not exist."
"How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber. "I am here, and I
am a barber. And I just worked on you!"
"No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because if they
did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards,
like that man outside."
"Ah, but barbers DO exist! " answered the barber. " What happens, is,
people do not come to me. "
"Exactly!"- affirmed the cust omer. "That's the point! God, too,
DOES exist! What happens, is, people don't go to Him and do not look for
Him. That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."

Life is really weird lately. Homecoming is making things so stressful. I promised myself I wouldn't go with anyone unless I liked them cause I didn't wanna give anyone the wrong idea and everyone, the 6 guys, that have asked me I don't like but they like me so its hard that way! But who knows maybe I will end up going and making it clear that I don't like them and stuff. I just wish that I could not go and not regret it cause if I could that is what I would do.
Yesterday we had a concert at our church and I sang at it. I was a part of a band and it was amazing. We did so GREAT! Ashley Bayly played the piano and she play such like a pro. She is the bomb at the piano... Opey sang with me and played the guitar along with Christopher Alan L. Eder! They were so wonderful. And I sang but I am sure I didn't have to tell you that. Everyone loved it! We are going to try to get some more songs to do at the next concert! I will let you know when it is so you can come see how fantastic it really is.
The whole night last night was great. There was no drama and I was so happy the whole time I was there. Then I had to come home but its okay. I know everything will work itself out.
Well I am going to jet. I have homework to finish and I am going to play basketball today. Gotta work on somethings cause I am starting to stink up the court. Sadly enough!
Advice for the day: You don't need guys to show you who you are and how special you are. Guys don't make you who you are just like friends don't make you who you are. They are a part of you but not who you are. So make life happy with no drama because thats how GOD wants you to live and he is the one who made you who you are. I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!
Ash- You did so great! ilu so much. Your such a beautiful girl and your a great friend. Keep up being you cause I wouldn't have it any other way. Your a crazy girl. I love it! Byes!
Ruth-Thanks for coming yesterday! We have to figure out what we are doing for the concert. Let me know okay! I love ya girly!
Trisha- I am glad we worked things out and that we had so much fun together at the concert. Things are going to be okay I promise. Just give it time. Its a lot of patience I know but it will work out in the end. I love you with all my heart. *BFF*
