when bad things happen to good people

just read the book. someone gave it to me after my accident—over a year ago. it really helped me out.

and now i wish i could snap my fingers so that two other people in my life also read it.

wife is really letting our lack of pregnancy wear on her. we've been at it at least two years now and no dice. we have daughter, but want more. daughter took us about two months to start. so we were cocky and just assumed number two would also come quickly. well, we've done a lot of tests and are just about through our last hope before hitting the fertility specialist. sigh. its easier for me to not let it bother me. it's not my body telling us we are not pregnant.

the book would help out in that this is simply nature. it is not God's will or some kind of punishment. it's just a really bad occurence of nature.

same goes for the accident a friend was just in. he broke his hip and his elbow. he's in a lot of pain and relying on more people than he is used to just to go to the bathroom. i know he is frustrated and he has about 6 weeks ahead of him before he can really put weight on his right leg.

i realized a few months ago i was not forgiving myself for the accident i was in. three people died. three coworkers of mine. this book helped me realize that not only was it an accident, it was an act of nature. a terrible one. but God had nothing to do with it. he had everything to do with the swarm of people that brought me safely through it. from the state trooper talking to me to my family, friends and coworkers.

its a good book. short and helpful. if you believe in God i think you might get a lot out of it. if you do not, that's cool too. i do not plan to wear my religion on my sleeve here, but before a few months ago...i was not wearing my religion at all.

i have faith in God. but i realized i was not following God. and for me, i need to do this.

i write this blog for a lot of reasons. i think you'll still enjoy the content if you liked my other blogs. but the above is important to me and you should know about it.

peace
