Hello, probably no one! :)
I have several options at this point. I can make this into a blog only about my project, or it could be just random but 'finished' writings, or it could be just a journal. At this point, I'm just figuring things out, and today I'm going to use it as a journal and post what's on my mind. That said, here's a few paragraphs about what's been on my mind today. :)
A friend of a friend posted a question on facebook to the effect of "If God is in control of everything, why would he allow things like Hurricane Katrina?" I am not involved in the conversation, but I started thinking about it and decided to write what I think on the subject. (I think more clearly when forced to write out my thoughts.) Here's what I came up with.
God didn't create evil. He created all things good, but then he gave us free will - giving us the option to either follow his will and live in a perfect world, or create evil and suffer the consequences. We chose the latter. The consequences of choosing evil over a perfect world were that although he does care about us and hear our prayers, we must 'lay in the bed we made,' so to speak. Meaning we now live in a fallen world where God will not stop every bad thing from happening.
That's all I had time to come up with, and I hope that it makes sense.
Cheerio,
Lauren
