Really Didn't Enjoy this Day...by the End of It

Our last day of ice skating was very memorable this year.  For a few days we were blessed with "nice" weather...sun was shining, green things were growing, we didn't have to wear long-johns with everything. :)  Unfortunately that also meant that the ice at the Rathaus had also begun to melt.  When we arrived at the ice skating rink we discovered that instead of nice smooth ice for us to skate on, we were given an opportunity to "swim and skate."  The ice was INCREDIBLY slippery...kind of an oxymoron about ice, but it was.  Every time a kid fell down, which was often, they became soaked!  By the end of our time we had many wet (and cold) kids and two students off to the hospital, with their teachers, to be checked for possible head injuries (whenever a kid falls and hits their head, the ice skating people are required to send them to the hospital just in case).  Sadly one of the students happened to be a 5th grader.  Thankfully my student ended up being JUST FINE (although he had a big bump on his head).  I personally didn't enjoy spending more than three hours at an Austrian hospital, but I was thankful my student was okay and our amazing German teacher was there to help with all the translating.

Questions about Probability

In class we recently finished a math chapter about probability.  During the course of the unit we also spent time talking about God and probability.  Within a fifth grade understanding of probability, there are five different levels.  Things can be...
1. impossible
2. unlikely
3. equally likely
4. likely
5. certain
Thankfully, with God, nothing is impossible, unlikely, equally likely, or likely.  God can do ANYTHING...He is certain!  It doesn't mean that He will do everything we want Him to do...He does what is best for us.  He saved the Israelites by giving Moses the power to part the Red Sea.  He created all of creation...us included.  He came down to earth as a baby and died for our sins.  God doesn't flip a coin to decide what happens.  He is certain about what to do because our Lord is omnipotent.  I don't know about you, but if I were to bet on something, I would bet on Him!
