We went out to dinner and said a prayer for a couple of friends.
We were so excited to sit down in a restaurant that we forgot to say grace.
We said it after....
I am MAGA.

I ask for prayers for my soul. The thoughts I've been having this week while watching TV and listening to the radio have been anything but Christ-like. Surely I'm not the only one....

My neighbor's 6 year old son recently died from leukemia. Praise God. I can appreciate that line of thinking. I understand (the best I can) why one might feel that way regarding instances such as the one you’ve mentioned above. I’ve struggled with this myself. I believe that there is a cause and effect relationship between sin and suffering. I’m not talking about the personal consequences of sin, which we’ve all experienced. The cause and effect relationship between sin and suffering goes beyond personal behavior...it is a global reality. There is a global relationship between sin and suffering. It’s not fair, and it takes everything out of our control. When sin entered the world, it held the door open for sorrow, death, illness, and despair. They snuck in right behind sin. And sin wreaks havoc on the world. Instances such as the one you mentioned above are part of the global consequences of sin in the world. The presence of sin in the world is why these things happen. It’s not fair. Children with cancer (for example). I struggle with it. Bad things happen to good people. I believe the worst possible thing happened to the best possible person. He was without sin, and yet...He was tortured and executed. I don’t like it, but it’s true...when sin entered the world, death (and its allies) was right on its heels. It’s a wake up call. He wants us to look up and regain, or find for the first time, our hope. One day there will be no more sin, no more sorrow, no more death...but not yet. Anyway, I don’t mean to be offensive. But you hit right on a subject that resonated with me...and I can understand (the best I can) why one would feel about it as you do. God had NO control over SIN entering the world? But he's omnipotent?

Just seen a white cop huggin on a black boy and his mama in the bank parking lot. I missed the hugging part of the pic, sometimes people just need to look around, it ain’t all bad. Not everything is a dayum conspiracy, go outside for fugg’s sake Thought I’d share ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/pVDKXR6g/66-B86876-02-ED-4-BB4-A724-A3-BFAF1-B00-D8.jpg)

It’s a conundrum for LOTS of us...and for good reason. He allowed it, He had His reasons for doing so, and I sure as heck can’t discern it.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

I'm not good with it and I'll be holding a crutch against him. I understand that I didn't rape 47 boy/girlscouts and discover Christ in prison, so I'll likely burn. But if that SOB can let a child rapist/murder through the pearly gates because he believes in Christ, I'm thinking he can save a 6 year old from cancer.

I would strongly suggest non of us call The Lord God Jesus derogatory
names.
No matter how bad it looks, keep on the sunny side of life. I have found the Book of Job to be a splendid study on the topic.
Not wanting to rile anyone. may our Lord Bless us all.

Understood. I'm not good with it and I'll be holding a crutch against him. I understand that I didn't rape 47 boy/girl scouts and discover Christ in prison, so I'll likely burn. But if that SOB can let a child rapist/murder through the pearly gates because he believes in Christ, I'm thinking he can save a 6 year old from cancer. Understood. People usually have good reasons for feeling the way they do about such things. And I believe you do. For me, I believe that God knows how or why everything happens. And He has complete control over His world. His ways are not my ways...and it would be folly for me to imagine such a thing. Although I want to know why...I don’t have to know why good people suffer in agony and/or die in pain. He knows. And it’s His knowing that is overwhelming to me, it’s His knowing that is completely real to me. And I don’t want to be apart from Him just because I can’t grasp all of this. He can grasp it.

I believe God gets WAY too much credit for the good and blame for the bad. He's a shoulder to cry on, but he doesn't have control of the situation. Perhaps he is even dead, which makes sense.
