In Memory Of....
There's truth in everything.
Because God made everything and God is truth.
For me- it's not exactly easy to find it. Like A tribe in South America that gains their friend's trust but then kills them is high favored in their culture....but the way to bring peace to TRUE friendship is to give your enemy your son... That's an obvious GOd truth.
Death...
Now that's a little harder. It brings up questions like, Well God created everything, so then did he create death? Then if he created death did he create pain and suffering and bitterness?
Maybe that's not what God had intended...
God never intended for us to die. He wanted us to live forever- that's why we're going to live forever in Heaven.
But Death had to happen...so then did he intend for us to feel pain, bitterness and shock? Probably not. He probably wants us to feel happy because the person we lost is in Heaven...
Which makes me feel better. But what about the ones that don't go to Heaven?
I hate the songs that talk about being dead...and the person singing is supposed to be the person who's dead...because if the person was in Heaven, they wouldn't be complaining about boys and prom. And if they were in Hell they wouldn't be either- they'd be hitting themselves because they didn't believe.
Am I wrong? Maybe i'm being Cynical...thats what James seems to think...
I hate that people can die in car accidents....and I wonder if God laughs at that...because to him, it wasn't really on accident. He had it all planned out! But...it's such a shock. When someone dies because they're old or have cancer and are already in the hospital- that's completely different. You were prepared. You knew death was coming. But a car accident? Or someone committing suicide...It's such a shock that it hurts even more...
I dunno- these are my opinions. Molly and her Father's death made me think about Kathy and then my own life...I'm sorry if I offended anyone- I tried not to...
So, In memory of Molly Babcock, Kathy Christensen and anyone who has been close to you and past away- here are my thoughts.
