"The presence of God has never eliminated pain, only made it more bearable." Mark Nepo Many of us humans have questioned how God lets bad things happen. It is a mystery. I heard a minister say once that he sees God as not causing bad things to happen, but not stopping them from happening. Perhaps it is that God does not want to intervene with our free will, but that does not explain the bad things that happen with nature. The tsunamis, the hurricanes, the earthquakes, the lightening-caused forest fires. Why is there such a mix of the good with what can be perceived as bad? I do not know. What I do know is that we can always find comfort in the presence of true friends and in what we see as God. I also know that these 'bad' things often bring out the best in people.
