A Perplexing Situation

Featured Replies

THIS HAS NOTHING TO DUE WITH RELIGION OR POLITICS...SO JUST READ TILL THE END TO SEE WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT....LOL

From a retired Air Force Fighter pilot.

Dearest friends, I am writing to you to ask for your help in shedding light

on a perplexing situation I find myself contemplating. I have selected you

as a group to aid me because you have known me for many years and I value

your opinion. Your religious experiences are varied and that is important

to the problem I am faced with.

Over the years, we have all observed the seemingly random factors that

affect all of our lives, sometimes without apparent rhyme or reason.  We

have seen some marriages dissolve over nothing and others grow stronger

under adverse conditions.  We have seen fate play a role in who survives

critical illnesses and who succumbs to them.  We have all seen good people

suffer great misfortunes while some people of low character thrive. In our

lifetime, we have seen Churches and Religious institutions all around the

world become revised, televised, energized and even scandalized. We are all

well aware that a higher power has control of nearly all things.

Personally, I have stood in the doorway of a 7/11 in Atlanta, amid a

shootout between the police and a gunman and walked away unscathed. On a

golf course, I saw a lightning bolt strike a man dead while those of us

nearby where untouched. We all watched as Hurricane Katrina ravaged some

areas of the coast and left other nearby homes standing intact. The

enormity of these random and seemingly unfair applications of good or bad

fortune is at the core of my dilemma.

I have flown over the heaviest defended area of the world and emerged

unscathed - missed as tracers crossed over my canopy

I have studied sacred writings of all major religions searching for an

answer, and now I pose the question to you.

I cannot fathom that the highest power in this universe could take Anna

Nicole from us and leave Hillary behind....

I chuckled a little.

This anti-Hillary stuff isn't really outright incendiary, but I'm not sure how you can say it isn't political.

Not funny, not one iota funny.

Really funny.  Thanks for sharing.

Hillery is on the path of self-destruction.

Any more "light bulb" comments and she is a gonner.

 Personal feelings aside my friend, it was both! You may have considered yourself stopping short of the line. Your momentum carried you face first over it! I really thought most folks understood the rules around here. Can't say I like rules anymore than the next person, I think you just showed why they're there...

                                           As Ever,

                                            Skillet

BTW So you don't get the wrong idea, I put "my friend" in there on purpose...
