Damn Them...

4 years ago, history was made, at the expense of peoples lives. Thankfully, I did not know anyone who was in the trade center or was a part of the rescue teams, but today my heart aches for them. Comcast provides me with news every morning, and four years ago, I was walking around going WHAT is the big deal? I had no clue what was really going on, and today four years later, and wiser I like to think, I realize that a. I was EXTREMELY naive, and b. Ouch. I bought this book months ago called "Beyong Tuesday Morning". At the time of purchase it was a book about finding love and healing after 9/11. What I didn't realize the book was about God. At one point in the book, the Mother says to the little girl who lost her Daddy in the tragedy,That God does not know evil that this was someone else. And though I want to believe this character who I know nothing as more then a page in a book, I find myself wondering the same thing. How could God stand by and let this happen? How could he let all these people suffer, AND CONTINUE to suffer? And if the women is saying this to make her child feel better, I don't understand why she would say that God wasn't a part of this. I'm not looking to blame anyone because I don't need a reason to place blame, but this writer has choosen her character to tell her little girl that God wouldn't do this, and for that I don't understand. Yes, we are suppose to follow "in the footsteps of our Lord Jesus Christ", and he died for our sins, but what I feel as this writer is saying, is that He does No Wrong. But, I have to question, wouldn't he have had to done wrong at ONE point wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy back when in order for us to learn from him? How can you learn from someone who has never had the experience? That's as if saying to someone who has lost a loved one, "I know how you feel" and you don't. In this case, I hope that better late then never applies in the sense that four years later sadly, I am understanding and mourning this. I don't know why all of a sudden this bothers me, but it is. So sorry.
