Are we a bunch of seamonkeys? A giant ant farm for God? Why would he create us just so we could have someone who would love him? And why would he make us so frail? Why build something just set up for failure? And how in the name of God is a 6 year old with Leukemia a part of God's plan?

I struggle with this as well. However, I think we want God to save us from pain and suffering. We expect a loving god to erase all the pain in the world. I expect him to erase the medical problems my 6 year old has. But, to me…that seems pretty self centered…and demanding of God.

I just play the cards I'm dealt. And sometimes, like in the case of my 6 year old…we get dealt a crappy hand. But, just because little man suffers doesn't mean God doesn't care or even love us. It just means that life sucks….for everyone….who ever lived.

Does that make God a cruel guy. I say no. I say we live in a cruel world. God gives us peace and security to deal with that world.
