I will stay forcused on Him! Tomorrow's Charles Stanley devotional! What matters is that He is in control of everything and with us: 27 April Is God in Everything? Romans 8:28-29 Have you ever tried to “let God off the hook”? Sometimes, in the face of a horrible tragedy, we try to defend God by saying things like, “Oh, I don’t believe God had anything to do with that.” On its face, this seems to be a perfectly rational statement. Is this not how we defend others or ourselves from hostile accusations? This is what the U.S. court system calls a “character witness.” It is the assurance from a friend of the defendant that the person charged was morally incapable of committing the crime. When accusers confront God with the horrors of war, famine, and natural disasters, many well-meaning Christians try to be good “character witnesses” for God by asserting that He cannot be involved in such things. The problem with this kind of thinking is that it goes against God’s sovereignty. The notion that certain evils happen without God’s allowance implies that He is powerless to stop them. The end result of this thinking is a weak God who is Himself subject to the ravages of sin. Our God is not like that. Although we may not understand His ways, we can trust Him. (Isaiah 55:8) If we say that God has no part in our tragedies, where then is our hope? It is through our hardships that God often matures His children. Therefore, even in our darkest moments, we can trust that the Lord is there with us.

I can't speak for the truthfulness of this, of course. Just another example of the direction this world's going. I'll bet He's wept -- more than once. It reminds me of the question "Is there anything in Heaven that was made on earth?? :-( ---------------------------------------------------------- “MINI-GADDAFI” TO BE WORLD’S FIRST BABY CLONE by Gordon Thomas Mossad, the Israeli intelligence service, has discovered that the world’s first baby clone – a boy due to be born in November – will be the biological replica of Libya’s Colonel Gaddafi. Last year, I was the first to reveal that Gaddafi had offered to provide the controversial Italian fertility clinic specialist, Professor Severino Antinori, with a private wing in Libya’s best hospital to create the clone. Mossad, who now closely monitors Gadaffi’s role in the current Middle East crisis, recently picked up a call from Gadaffi which monitored him saying that he was an expectant father. The call was intercepted by Mossad’s Yahalomin unit. It specialises in electronic communications surveillance. Tel Aviv sources have confirmed that a two-man surveillance team were on board an Israeli military plane flying high off the coast of Libya when they picked up the call. It was relayed from a secret monitoring station that Mossad agents have positioned close to the Libyan leader’s headquarters. The call confirmed what Professor Antinori has said. “The father is a grosso personnaggio.” It is a description that the fertility specialist has previously used in public to describe Gadaffi. “I now have as much money as I need to reach the result,” said Gadaffi. “Imagine, it has been possible to carry out in a Muslim country the kind of research that was impossible to do in the West.” Mossad sources say that the clone’s mother is “a high-born Arab woman who appears to have known Gadaffi since childhood.” Just as in the West, there was immediate outrage about the coming clone. Dr. Samir Abbasm, President of the Saudi Arabian Fertility Society in Riyadh said the country had rules against such a procedure. “Such a thing could not happen in this country. We are totally opposed to such a creation until there is a global consensus this is acceptable,” he said. The prestigious Order of Italian Doctors has already condemned Professor Antinori. The Order’s head, Guiseppe Del Barone, said that although there was no way of stopping the fertility specialist conducting his cloning in Libya – “he now faces the very real possibility that he will be unable to work in this country or any of Western country where such work is banned.” Many infertility specialists have claimed that Gadaffi’s clone would be born malformed – a charge that Antinori rejects. He insists that defects seen in cloned animals would not occur in humans – least of all in his carefully-chosen mother to bear Gadaffi’s image. By November the world will know if a baby Gadaffi has been born to add to the world’s troubles. For Antinori the birth will be “like that day atomic energy was released – only this will have a beneficial effect. It will increase the population and open the window on genetic programming,” he said last week. His clinic in Rome has already been at the centre of controversy. It was there he helped a 63-year-old woman have a child. Six years ago he assisted an English mother in having twins.
