How Long

How much longer will the pain endure?
How much longer till they find a cure?
How much longer till we reach the shore?
How much longer, we must know the score?

You are on a journey you know not where,
Moving so rapidly from here to there.
Have you chosen the right junction,
Paused to ask the deeper question?
Who am I and where am I goin'?

it's not that simple

I heard a guy on the radio today. New Orleans is his home. His house and family were spared from any serious damage. He said, "God really blessed us!"

This is a common response when God does something "good" for us. And I put good in quotes because I think our definition is too short sighted and therefore flawed.

Here's my question for you. If God really "blessed" this man the way he thinks God "blessed" him, what does that say for everyone else who lost everything?

What do you think?
