Today’s question is: why do bad things happen?

Background: Yesterday, I got a call from PW’s uncle. He called to tell me that they lost a grandchild. I wasn’t sure what he was talking about, I said “what do you mean?”. And then he told me that his grand daughter, Julia, was killed in a car accident on the way to visit her cousins yesterday morning.

I don’t even know how he found the strength to call me. I don’t know how he was able to tell me what happened. I do know, he must be profoundly sad.

This morning, as I sit at my computer with the sun shining gloriously down upon me I wonder why, why do bad things happen to the people I know and love?

Please say a little prayer for Julia’s mom, dad and little brother, they certainly are going to need many prayers as they navigate through the rest of their lives without their Julia.
