Kevin has written a masterpiece in which he examines our spiritual beliefs, and how we deal with both the good and bad events of our lives…

Tuesday night a storm, with high winds and several tornadoes, ripped across parts of the United States, killing many people and destroying a great deal of property. Much of that happened in my home state of Tennessee. Actually, one of the tornadoes was in line to tear through Nashville, the city I live in. But for whatever reason, it skipped over us.

People in this part of the country can be deeply biblically religious, and they will either give thanks to God for being spared from the storm’s devastation, believing their faith saved them, or they will call on God for the strength to carry on after suffering greatly, as the storm devastated their lives. There will be some who will lose their faith in God because He did not protect them, as they felt He should. And, they may chose to no longer believe in God, and may carry a heart of anger towards God for the rest of their lives.

But, is any of this really about God? Is it really about us humans?

In my own life, I wrestle with these questions myself. I used to think that if you dare even question the “divine plan” of our lives, it was a sin. However, I now believe that questioning “God” is healthy, and it can deepen your spiritual journey as you work out your own, personal beliefs.
