Why?

I know. I haven't been very dependable when it comes to this blog-thing. You know, life. That's all I need to say. I think I'll have time to post something and four days later I'm still trying to get around to it. Like right now I need to be preparing a lesson for church tomorrow night, but I can't get in the mood. I've got some weighty issues pressing down on me. I know God is good. I really do. I know what Romans 8:28 says. So, when I hear that an old friend's daughter is lying in a hospital with not much hope, it's hard to see correctly. I've known for a few days but the weight crashed down on me tonight. Where is the "good" in that? I also know of a five year old with terminal brain cancer. She has to be bathed every six hours because of the toxic drugs she is being given. Once again, I know God is good, but why do little girls (and boys) have to deal with such things? There are times when I am so ready for Jesus to rip open the sky and end all this darkness.
