Faith, Moods, Thought Of The Day in Something To Think About Sunday, December 13, 2009 at 7:00AM MAD21 "I guess I just don't see the point of trying to fit every single tragedy into a nice, tidy little explanation. Sometimes there is grief and loss that defies any explanation whatsoever.
In the face of that kind of grief, the best kind of explanation is silence.
Isn't it more honest for us to say we don't know exactly why these things happen?
It's inexplicable. And so is the baffling, amazing grace of God that can break through even the darkest human tragedy and shine the light of Hope for all to see."
