What is God thinking?
Sometimes it's hard to reconcile what God does. When i read about the Korean man's family who was killed the other day when a marine corps jet crashed into it, i just can't understand. His 2 month old, 15 month old, and his wife dead... they had only moved into this home a month prior and God knew that that plane was going to crash into it. He knew he was sending them there to die. He knew he was destroying this man's entire world. It was his plan. Sometimes it just doesn't make any sense what He's doing. These things are so hard to comprehend because he makes them happen; he causes these hurts. Why?
i realized yesterday that i let Dad's anniversary pass without any notice. It's been 5 years since he died. i guess i was a little busy, what with having 3 day old twins and all, but it seems weird to not think about him as much. i miss him less and that feels mean somehow. Five years. He didn't get to see any of it; never got to meet Andrew, doesn't get to know his amazing granddaughter, Allison, can't laugh at me as i try to take care of twins, will miss Grandma being... Grandma. i wish i knew why God took him away from us.
And yet, that Korean man who has no home and no family now, he said to pray for the pilot. Somehow we still turn to God.
