Robert Martin’s Reviews > Lord Willing?: Wrestling with God's Role in My Child's Death > Status Update

Wow. Sometimes we forget thar all powerful, miracle wielding Jesus FAILED sometimes to heal or perform miracles... is this proof that God is not all powerful? No... instead we look at Jesus reaction. and actions, his grief and regret, his statements that there are demons and other forces at work. Jesus (and therefore God) is fighting a cosmic war... and in war there are casualties.... and Jesus wept

Picking up where I left off yesterday. ... some vertu good arguments against the blueprint worldview

ok... ouch... I know thus chapter was full of hope and good news... but I remember when my mother first came out of the coma... we felt the same...and the unthinkable happened... reading this, I'm reliving those moments, waiting, though, for the other shoe to drop because. .. it seems it always does...

D***... now it starts... the tears... this Daddy has a vivid imagination

getting ready to start part two... not sure, emotionally ready I am for this part

As I read this book, my mind goes to the Song of Aiunir at the beginning of the Silmarillion. Illuvatar's theme is beautiful and wonderful... but it is marred by the rebellion of Melkor. The themes of Melkor happen, not because Illuvatar planned them or allowed them, they are rebellion, civil war. But Illuvatar weaves them in, redeems them, and his purposes come forth still.

Dang it... already wrecked after the introduction....
