eleneariel: (librarian)
There's a distinct chance I'll be getting PSP on my work computer. *dies*

And a guy just came in asking loudly, "Why are the women of M____ County so beautiful...and so mouthy?"

We looked at him blankly and kept our own mouths shut.

"This IS the reference desk, right?" he asked.

And then tried to use George W. Bush as his personal reference on his library card application.

Gotta love my job. Seriously.
eleneariel: (pray)
And this is the confidence which we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will He hears us. And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have obtained the requests made of Him. --I John 5:14-15

If we ask what is within the will of God, He answers and we obtain that which we have requested. This is well and good, and I believe it-- until I try to start applying it literally. I understand why God hasn't answered some of my prayers, since it's evident that I don't know what is in His will or not.

But. If it is God's will that "none should perish, but all have eternal life", then does that mean that every time a believer prays for the salvation of another, it will be answered (whether immediately or years later) in the affirmative?

And if someone dies unsaved, is it because nobody prayed for their salvation?
