I to believe there is a God. They say God gave man free will which means whether we caused our own accidents or someone else did or just by chance it was by something else (sickness). They say that God doesn't put on us more than we can handle. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger. I for one am doing better now than when I was A.B. I was going down a bad road and I've learned that life is valuable and worth living and to live it to the fullest. It has also made my daughter stronger. She's a very caring daughter and I think she looks at life alot differently with me being in a chair. Which is a good thing. I for one see nothing good that comes from blaming it doesn't change anything, but if we can look at what we do have and not at what we've lost it does make it better.

Hi Mark,

 

I believe there is an equal balance in this earth.  I believe there is a God, but I also believe there is an Evil at work here.  I believe that there is always a balance between the two.  We all have been given a free-will to make our choices with.  I never could understand why when something good happens to people they say, "Thank God," and when something bad happens they say, "Why God?"  I could never understand why evil is always given a free pass.

 

Free-will means we hold the power in our souls to make our choices, but we aren't making these choices is a vacuum.    Both good and evil are at work together to make things balance out.

 

I just found out that a kid that was always hanging out with my son when they were young just got ambushed in Iraq.  Did God have something to do with that attack, or did God have something to do with the fact that he is alive in a German hospital?  Free-will allows us to decide what God did or what Evil did in every situation in life.

 

Stay strong.

 

With Love,

Silas, me you think a lot a like. I don't see how I could have more compassion for my children than my own creator because I would never let my child go through this if I was capable of stopping it.   Mark    -------Original Message-------   From: Silas Date: 07/26/06 11:15:33 To: Angelique Novak; ALAN LABARR Cc: Quad List Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Re: Angelique and Sandy   Angelique, Before my injury I really believed that there was a kind loving God, don't get me wrong I still pray but I get so angry I have trouble with keeping the faith.  I can't believe that a loving God would make any of his so called children suffer through this every day, I don't see his reasoning at all!
