I need to say, politics and religion seem to bring out the very best along with the the very worst in folks. The best because both can lead to people being incredibly kind, the very worst because both can lead to unbelievably intractable and difficult acts. I am not attacking you, this post merely made me realize it, so thanks for that.

I agree that Jesus is in the rubble in Haiti! A little meditation on the Beatitudes for those of us that can’t go to Haiti should tell us that! Love your thoughts, Ellen! God bless!

After my third, out of five, occurance of Breast Cancer, I was talking with my brother about how I just kept devoting my life to serving God and serving my family, and to loving and caring for the people around me. Although I didn’t understand the why, -my heart was filled with the love of Jesus – I fell asleep with His arms wrapped around me – but still the why me?-Some people wondered what I had done and like Job, some people would ask me what unconfessed sin I had in my life(I taught Sunday School,volunteered in school,helped my neighbors,worked hard,and loved my family’ My brother said, “God is not the author of evil.” That said it all and was clearly the truth of God’s nature.

Ellen – First, we’d like to invite you guys over for dinner, if you have time and if you can take the chaos of two feisty little girls. Second, I was blown away by your blog about Limbaugh and Robertson. It didn’t try to rebut or condemn them it really looked at some of the underpinnings to a theology that demands to make sense of suffering – unfortunately in a twisted way. I thought it was so well written and gracious while at the same time offering a sane Christian perspective from what God’s heart for the suffering truly is, compassion. Thanks, keep writing! Jim
