Is she married? Who will care for them?<br /><br />I remember so many times sitting in my cubicle thinking "I need to get out of this place and do something I enjoy before its too late". I didn't. Now I am unemployed living on handouts from my family feeling as flaky as your clay :(Bar L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11100008292699584336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4879615387850345622.post-87357838016085258622010-01-15T10:39:09.982+11:002010-01-15T10:39:09.982+11:00Erin - yes, may God at least grant peace for her k...Erin - yes, may God at least grant peace for her kids. It's funny though, I think about how this sort of thing has gone on forever and ever, and I wonder if we are less able to cope with this sort of thing these days when we have so many more illusions of control over our environment? Not sure. But still, it's the quandary question in the end, isn't it - I think it's the cliff over which all atheists jump: why a good God allows these things. <br /><br />There does have to be more. I think we both feel that. I guess sometimes just knowing it's there even when you can't see it has to be enough *sigh*.<br /><br />Kel - Indeed! May we push toward life without being diagnosed terminal (terminally insane is what I hope to avoid a diagnosis of, haha :)<br /><br />Tess - I agree. I think like so many things, out the other side of our discomfort and denial there is comfort and renewal and life even beyond death. To deny it is to just stay young and ungrown (and surely our cultures of all are childish cultures)<br /><br />Andrea - yeah, I curse it too. And you know I'm tracking with you about the God thing ... except he's still there, I can't deny it. I keep coming across him, lying underneath everything, hardly discernible. I so want him to be there for all of us. I want us to feel his presence wrapping round us like cloaks.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01122659239039900398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4879615387850345622.post-54126606370316347512010-01-15T01:32:49.634+11:002010-01-15T01:32:49.634+11:00ooh thats just awful...I curse pancreatic cancer, ...ooh thats just awful...I curse pancreatic cancer, such a horrible way to die, and to leave behind young children...its just all too terrible!
