It Does Not Make Sense

Sometimes things happen that defy explanation. Two dear friends of mine experienced a tragic loss of a family member this past week.  It happened in the worst way you could imagine. The man was felled by a blow delivered by one whom he loved. Illicit drugs were involved but that does not make this event any less sad. My friends watched the man grow up and as a matter of fact, she and her husband were legal guardians for a time when the man was but a boy.  So this event hurt these two fine Catholic Christian people to their very core. 

When something like this happens, you have to ask the simple question of why.  There is no answer to the question.  It is beyond what we can know. 

I pray for Arden and Jack that their loss may me mitigated by the thought that the man is now in the hands of God and that he will rest in peace, safe forever from the ravages of drugs.  

In this Easter season we have to remind ourselves that for a Christian, life is not ended, just changed.  God bless you my dear friends, if there is anything I can do, just ask.
