does God exist?

no, i'm not asking this question. my philisophy textbook is. and i don't know what to say. other than, "yes".

i feel like such a fool. i love God with my whole heart and i don't know how to argue his existence. not without sounding four years old. we're going to have a debate on this topic in class i'm sure, and the professor is going to look at me and ask my opinion. i wish i could say that i could lay down a terrific and moving argument like C.S. Lewis or my brilliant friends (i.e.: Nathan, Joey, Truman, Kai..). they wouldn't look stupid in front of the class. but i think i would. this upsets me.

so i have a new goal. one that i should have been working on a lot harder since i became a christian.

i am going to be able to explain and argue why i believe in God.

i think it's a good goal. and i'm really hoping that the few of you who read this blog won't judge me too harshly for not being able to do this now. i feel awful. i guess for a long time, i thought saying I love God was enough.

but i don't think it is. i mean, yes it's a start. but isn't it time for me to leap from the starting line and begin the race? i think so.
wish me luck.
