I want answers to the question "Why is your God better than my God?"<br><br>I looked for you this evening. I would love to sit and talk the afternoon away over tea and cake, or the evening over cheese and wine. Must send you some pictures to bring you closer to visiting the UK. Hmmm...alternatively, maybe I should start saving for a 'very nearly' view of the ring of fire.<br><br>Annie :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283072392763163737.post-83923700573836913232006-01-17T19:44:00.000-08:002006-01-17T19:44:00.000-08:00Having a child does make the miracles of life want...Having a child does make the miracles of life want to give you the Creator the benefit of a doubt, but there's more to it than that. I look at how when some things are at their absolute worst how the best in people can emerge and how people rise above circumstances that should decimate them, and that gift of giving some slack comes easier.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283072392763163737.post-64122800154679516822006-01-17T20:01:00.000-08:002006-01-17T20:01:00.000-08:00my instincts tell me that the answers you seek may...my instincts tell me that the answers you seek may be found in the questions you ask.

The only thing that ever made any sense to me was found in Rabbi Kushner's book, 'When Bad Things Happen to Good People.' This man spent much of his life trying to answer these questions for others.

I believe in SCIENCE....but the realities of science are sometimes beyond explanation.<br><br>I don't know that God is callous....but I certainly do not believe him to be a micromanager.

Maybe it's as simple as that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
