Nelson Christian school hosts open house
“One-room school house for the 21st century”
The Ahlberg Academy (formerly the TLE
Academy) is hosting an open house Saturday,
February 20th from 3-5 p.m. in Nelson just
north of Ball Ground.
With its’ model as a “One-room school
house for the 21 st century,” the K-12 Ahlberg
Academy was founded in Marietta in 2005.
Since then, graduates have gone on to achieve
higher education and graduation in medicine,
working for NASA, the arts and science, and
as successful business owners and manage
ment leaders.
For 17 years, the Ahlberg Academy has
brought a quality, accredited education to our
Georgia youth. The award-winning Ahlberg
curricula focuses on instilling faith, tradi
tional values, leadership, citizenship, and pa
triotism - preparing each student for a bright,
independent future.
“We are excited about our new facility
now located in Nelson,” says John Ahlberg,
Rector and CEO.
The public is invited to attend the Grand
Opening and meet the staff and tour the
school. For more information call 770 735-
4853. The school is located at 185 Blue Ridge
Ave. Nelson, GA 30151-0035. Email to:
info@ahlbergacademy.com. Online: ahlber-

LUTHERAN CHURCH
At Mountain Light Uni
tarian Universalist Church,
we believe that it is our moral
obligation to protect the most
vulnerable people in our
beloved community; there
fore, we have postponed all
large gatherings until the
threat of the pandemic has
passed. In the interim, we
will be live streaming our
Sunday Services. For infor
mation about future services
and our 7 Unitarian Univer
salist principles, please visit
mluuc.org.
On Sunday, February 14,
the sermon will be "Love in
the Time of Corona". Eros.
Philia. Agape. What sort of
love is required of us in this
unprecedented time? Rev.
Megan Lloyd Joiner joins us
on Valentine's Day to reflect
on what love asks of us dur
ing the pandemic, how to
nurture love and compassion
for ourselves and others, and
how love might truly be what
saves us all.

What God
Cannot Do
“God is not human, that he
should lie, not a human
being, that he should change
his mind. Does he speak and
then not act? Does he promise
and not fulfill?”
Numbers 23:19 NIV
T here is an old joke about the
wiseacre who asks the
Sunday School teacher if
God can make a rock so big that
He Himself cannot lift it. Either
way of answering results in
something God cannot do. The
short answer to this paradox is that
the description of the rock is
logically contradictory (an object
which an omnipotent being cannot
lift). There are, however, a few
things which God cannot do, but it
is not because his power is limited,
but rather because his goodness is
unlimited. That is, God cannot lie
or otherwise act immorally,
because He cannot contradict his
own nature. It would be a
weakness or defect in God if He
were to lie or act viciously.
Likewise, the fact that God cannot
make 2+2=5 is not a weakness on
God’s part, but rather a
consequence of the fact that even
God must obey the laws of logic.
What would the world be like if 2+2
could equal anything other than 4?
It would be a manifestly absurd
world, a world where anything and
everything might be good or bad,
and true or false. These few things
which God cannot do, such as lie,
or make the logically impossible
possible, are really part and parcel
of the fact that we live in a world
where things make sense, and
good and evil are not simply a
matter of whim and whimsy.
