Why, God?

October 25, 2011 by Robert Crosby

Continued from Page 1

The Whys of God are often mysteries that remain unsolved in this life. Sometimes, however, God does reveal the reasons why; sometimes, he does not. Despite our opportunities or obstacles and regardless of the questions they raise, God always has his reasons. When those reasons are made clear, we rejoice. When they are not, we learn once again to trust the "Engineer of our circumstances."
