In 2005 I used to blog everyday. At that time it was more of a day-to-day account of life encounters, good, bad, or otherwise. There were reports of my many Scrabble victories, relationship issues with team members in ministry, and the sad account of when my wife Leigh-Ann began her journey with breast cancer. The blog ended in suspended animation when I needed to step down from ministry for a season. For nearly a year, if you clicked on my web site, the last blog date was October 10, 2005.

Last night there was an urgent message left for Leigh-Ann to call a close friend. The friend had just received the devastating news of an advanced stage of breast cancer. I was so proud of my wife, as she was able to soberly, but with care, walk our friend through the steps she would have take on the difficult road ahead. However, this morning as we shared our devotion, there was a righteous anger that came out of Leigh-Ann in the form of a question; "Why God!?" It wasn't a question of faith, but rather a statement of sorrow, and mystery about the things of God, and what was going on in her friend's life. Things of which we can't know the answers this side of Heaven.

What we do know, is that God is faithful and sovereign, and He is more than enough, even when we don't know the answers to the difficult questions. I'm grateful God can handle our questions, and even our righteous anger.

Until next time,
