John

I am not even talking about what God allows, but wht he has actually done. There are many instances in the bible where God actually does or orders the killing, and other acts of mayhem.

Isnt that something worth questioning?

John,

And besides, knowing what I know about heaven, I would have been wanted to be spared this hell-hole on earth if I could of when I was a child.

Now of course, I must stay here for my family, and do the will of God. I am here for a reason. I don't know it past the responsibilty of my family and friends and to tell people about him.

I owe him so much for all the blessings he has bestowed upon me. My newborn baby girl born last Thursday brings tears to my eyes. So I'll stick around if he wants to use me for something useful.

But the choice between heaven and earth is an easy one. The children spared of this earth should be considered so very, very lucky! But I know from this side of the fence it might seem cruel, not being able to see the other side.

God Bless,
Steve
