Every year we look forward to June and then it rains and rains. Hopefully in a few days it will have improved. Tonight I went to a meeting at the local church where they were hosting "Towards Belief." Inevitably the room was full of church folk althought the intention was to encourage uncommitted villagers in. How can anyone be moving towards belief when they are "dead in trespasses and sins?" I explained that I do not believe we have free will. We were looking at the subject of suffering and how it is an obstacle to faith. I think it is more likely an excuse for unbelief. Of course there are things to be looked at around suffering. Suffering is not pleasant but is often a means to making us grow in our faith.
