Hi Quandry, Derrick, I wrote a respose a while back to a guy who was struggling with God's will. All I can say is that, from personal experience, I too have lost a valued friend a year ago, recently a tragic bus accident took the lives of six girls on a church-related retreat. I knew these girls and played basketball with one of them a week prior to her death. I am in an accountability group which includes the youth pastor of this group. Now Dusty, tomorrow?? We don't know why or how tradedy strikes, but God does. There is nothing we can do. God knows. In thier memory we make live better for eachother, and God works. God's peace, Oliver |
