I may not be able to clearly get my point across but I'll try. I overheard part of a conversation recently and realized something. Why is it when something bad happens, we regress to being the good friends of Job, trying to explain why this or that terrible event happened? Why are bad circumstances the result of bad behavior? That would be karma, right? I try not to believe in that. Just because I lead a moral upstanding life (yeah right) does not make me immune to the fact that I live in a broken world. Things happen. What you think is good for you may not be the same thing that actually is. Trust me, I know from first hand experience. I have been listening to a CD by Jeff Johnson. There is a song on there called "Ruin Me". Check out the chorus.

Ruin my life and the plans I have made
Ruin desires for my own selfish gain
Destroy the idols that have taken Your place
Till its You alone I live for, You alone I live for.

I don't know if this made sense. Just what I've been thinking about.
