Sometimes thoughts run around in my head, which produce questions, and sometimes I find myself answering them, but most of the time the remain questions. Some of the questions are fed by what I read here, so I thought maybe, I 'd just throw them out there. Of course I risk exposing myself as a nutcase, but I think I've already done that, so what the heck!

I've come to the conclusion that dust after the Fall is one of those Providentially subtle little reminders of our condition. Nothing will stay new or clean no matter how many times we try to remove it.<br><br>Fleas and ticks..what was their purpose before the Fall? I'm not sure I've thought of a purpose after the Fall. I have this little saying that there are no useless people, everyone serves some purpose even if it's only as a bad example. It's the closest I can come for these critters.<br><br>Mosquitoes? See above.<br><br>The genes that carry illness..cancer, malaria, leukemia, the list is endless really. What was the preFall purpose of these? I'm not sure that malaria is a genetic condition, on second thought, but you know what I mean. <br><br>Well that's a start anyway. Now I have alittle more room to ponder some more stuff!<br><br>Have a good night.<br><br>Hannahsmom
