You assume much in this posting. jus sayin.
Edited to add: Your wife goes out or stays in, in her condition, and with no cell phone?
You are probably right. It is hard not to be angry at these people and this situation, especially after three days of hell in my house. And frankly I am very far from being what some outsiders would call a fine example of a Christian. I am by my own nature someone who is quick tempered and occasionally violent. That is a beast I struggle to control. Right now that beast is pulling on its chain pretty hard.
And she did have her cell phone, in her purse inside the car where she couldn't get to it. Since her injury in 2007 she has lost a good bit of her use of her shoulders. She fell deep into depression and was diagnosed with bipolar 2. She has put on a good bit of weight, now at 210 pounds. Crawling she cannot do.
Thank you for your honest answer.

Really sorry to hear of your trouble. Seems like you are on a growth path though so take heart. Nobody is perfect or knows all, so just hang tough and remain faithful.
Wife and I were talking over dinner tonight about why bad things happen, in relation to our kid struggling with faith and health issues, as well as good things, and the proper response to all is the same. We usually blow it and forget the very simple truth that the proper response to all things bad or good, is to draw closer to God. In good times, extreme thankfulness and humility. In bad times, cry out and rely on God for all.
Again, sorry for your trouble, but if possible try to see the positive work happening.
