The sun is out

Finally, the sun is back out and the temperatures are warming. And fittingly, I am seeing prayers being answered today. YIPPEE! My heart rejoices in the way God works. I will never understand why we have to face the kind of pains we do in this life, but I am thankful that we face nothing outside of what God allows. Even at my worst, God is at His best, and I'm thankful. I wish, right now, I could gather up my friends, from all over: you, you, you, you, you, you and you, for a big group hug. Completely cheesy I know, but at least we'd all be safe and protected, if only for a moment.

Then, I hear of this happening. Why in the world would someone do that? I am afraid for our world, afraid of where it's going and where it is. What happened to, "Hey, can we sit and chat and work this out?" No, instead folks now just go and shoot the one who's offended them. Praise the Lord all the many folks I have offended don't do the same to me! Whew...

But, God is still God, and that's all the reassurance I need.
