Science is good, but practice is more important in life.

		<description>&quot;Is it really all that shocking to say I no longer believe in a God who stops bad things from happening because I prayed they wouldn’t happen?&quot;

Perhaps you meant this question to be rhetorical, but No Michael, it is a robust sign of sanity and, more importantly, a necessary step in following the way of the Lord Jesus. My own experience teaches me that God doesn&#039;t so much care about happens to me, but that I trust in Him through it all. My hope is in God and in nothing and nobody else. Jesus is my surety, my life, my all. If I have Him, I have everything, even when (maybe especially when) nothing else makes sense, or when things aren&#039;t going according to my plan.

 My heavens, you&#039;d think that not many of us have ever Scripture. Conforming my will to God&#039;s holy will is what is necessary. You had a later post on Jonah. Adding to that, we read in Job 2:10b: &lt;i&gt;&quot;We accept good things from God; and should we not accept evil?&quot;&lt;/i&gt;</description>

		<description>I have been reading your blog (as much as I can get time to do so) the last couple of months and have really enjoyed it.  I was shocked to find out today that you too are from Owensboro.  I was born and raised and still live in Owensboro.  If you are like me I imagine one of your first stops will be for some mutton and burgoo.  Have a great day and God bless.</description>

		<description>Every single one of Yancey&#039;s books is a &quot;must read.&quot; &lt;i&gt;Disappointment with God&lt;/i&gt; is one of his best. Check out &lt;i&gt;Soul Survivor&lt;/i&gt; for Yancey&#039;s journey of faith and disappointment with God. It&#039;s good, too.</description>
