Why? a completely off topic rant

question-mark.jpgWhy does the world make no sense?  Why do I have two healthy children and other’s do not?  Why do the people most deserving of happiness not seem to find it?  Why does my dog stink like an old man?  Why do we spend millions of dollars fighting a war in a country where we’re not wanted while the people of Darfur and Tibet suffer needlessly?  Why do people who claim to love God not love eachother?  Why do the meanest, nastiest, people seem to thrive while the good, selfless people do not.  Why do only old people win the lottery?  Why do we glorify celebrities with no talent or redeeming qualities, but ignore people who give their lives for the greater good?    Why is it the end of October and still 95 degrees in Phoenix, is it hell and no one told us? Why do the good die young?  Why?

sounds like you are writing a song… :)

seems to me, much of it is because we live in a flawed world, surrounded by flawed human beings. but then some of it, i think, is because if everything was all clean and clear, we would have no reason/no need for something bigger than us to explain it all. we would, in essence, have no need for God.

even though i’ve had some heartbreak and some unexplainable things happen in my life, i am thankful that i also had a God who was big enough to understand it all in the worldly, global scheme of things, and yet intimate enough to provide me with the day-to-day guidance and strength to take it on.

Are you really asking why, or just throwing this out there for the heck of it?

Nothing seems to be easier than seeing someone whom you can help but not helping.
I suggest we start giving it a try. Give love to the ones that need it.
God will appreciate it.
