| Hejsan!
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner I don't have Internet at the new apartment yet. If I could offer some things to look at related to your question, why was Jesus preaching in hell?
1 Peter gives us a few verses that talk about this specifically
3:19 - "By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;"+
4:6 - "For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit."
This happened to fulfill a prophecy given back in Isaiah 61:1 -
"The Spirit of the Lord GOD [is] upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to [them that are] bound;"
I wish I had more time to expound on these, but I can say that text does show that Jesus did preach to the dead in hell, or prison. The purpose may include to simply show them there fault, show them that they had an opportunity to have eternal life but they rejected it. Also, it should be noted that Jesus did take those in Paradise into Heaven upon His ascension .

| Last night was my first overnight at the new apartment in Latham!! I am now within a few hundred yards of Latham Circle. I can't say how much God has blessed this whole move, from locating the apartment to incredible weather, to being able to fit all of the stuff in the truck Thank you Jesus!! So, because of the move I won't have unlimited access to xanga.com so my post my be a bit lacking in comparison, but don't worry I don't plan on pull an Cristie B. LOL!! Some other good news of God's blessing, Hannaford has taken me to full time, and paying me a bit more, and I should have benefits in a week or so. (for that next ski trip....) Also, the past couple of months I have been visiting Saratoga County Jail with Hope Prison Ministry. Once a month I get to share God with these guys, and I'm starting to get to know some of them and their circumstances. If you think of it please keep this in prayer. I want to give a shout to the Oakwood crew, I haven't been there in a few weeks. Isn't it exciting to serve God?! God Bless you!!

| If you haven't thought about the fact that Jesus is intimately involved in your life today, take a moment.
Jesus knows your name!
He knows your thoughts...
He knows your passed....
He knows your future...
. . .and He's calling you.
Take comfort for your soul is in the Hands of the Creator
