Busy, so busy

I've realized that I haven't posted in nearly a month. Ironically, I can post more when there is less going on in my life, than when I actually have something that is blog worthy. It's been so long since my last post, I'm wondering if anyone is actually even going to read this one.
Yesterday, in my problem of evil class (in which I just failed a paper, I can feel it in my bones), we were presented with the question, "If, as the theist claim, God is perfectly good, and there was a time when only he existed, what drove him to create a world that would become less than good, less than morally perfect?" No one really had a suffecient answer. But upon further thought, I realized, it's part of the mystery of the Gospel that the apostle Paul so often talked about. We are told in Romans that "no one would die for a righteous man, although some may die for a good man, but Christ demonstrates his own love to us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ dies for us." Who can explain this love for a fallen creation, one that continually throws all of God's blessings back into his face? Even on the other side of eternity, we may not know the answer.
