I was thinking of all the real-world examples mentioned in the book. You know... Those times when some accident happens to your dear pal... Or your relative is diagnosed with some terminal illness... or your beloved pet dog gets poisoned by some random dude... And then we start saying in our minds, "How can a loving God let something like this happen?"
New family in ANU!!!
I wonder... How come its only in the bad times that we can point the injustice towards God? How come God takes all the blame for all the bad stuff happening?
Duckling butt. Rare moments when its actually cute and adorable. :S
What about all the good times that've always been present in our lives? How come we give all the credit to ourselves? When the sky just happens to clear up before you're headed outdoors for a game or you're travelling?... Or when you somehow just evade an accident by swerving your bike to the left in the nick of time?... Or when a natural disaster happens back home and your family members are one of the few "lucky" survivors?
I sense an accident just about to happen in the next frame...
Why, in those moments, do we attribute it all to plain "luck"?
"Wah heng ah... LUCKILY it didn't rain ah. Wait so long to play liao then rain today ah... Suey lo..."
"MAN, that was lucky! I missed the car by a mere inch!! If I hadn't turned in time, I'd be a goner!!"
"Mommy, you and daddy really lucky yeah, everyone kena except you two ah..."
How is it justified that in those times we don't say sth like,"How can such an awesome God bother to do sth so amazing for little me?" but we still dare say sth like,"How can a loving and just God let this happen to me/us?" in trying time?
p.s Full moon was yesterday... All geared up for it dy, then the clouds suddenly shrouded the whole night sky. -_- Sien...
p.p.s Today's date very nice. (:
