Friday's Thoughts

What about surprise endings or twists of fate? How do they affect your faith?
Sometimes things happen that are out of our control and that we least expect. You find out that your partner is having an affair, you find out that your kid is flunking out of college, you find out that your friend has been arrested and charged with a serious crime, you find out that a colleague has suddenly been killed in a tragic accident.

We often scream out, "God, why?" But, that gets us nowhere really. God isn't a master puppeteer moving us from left to right, in and out of traffic, and through life. We have human choices. And there are human consequences. And weeds enter into spaces that we thought only wheat could grow.
