You hang in there with Jesus, Steve, and although all looks dark and hopeless right now, it will get better....believe me it will, but you must lean on and trust in Jesus, for He is the One and Only God Who is with us through every trial and problem! I absolutely know how you feel and what you are going through, but you will make it by enduring and overcoming all things with Him, the Lord of lord and King of kings! Just keep the faith that our prayers for you are being answered in God's plan and you will come out on top, as we are the head and not the tail, although satan would have us to think we are in a bottomless pit, like he will be in at the end! Keep serving and praising God and you will come forth smiling and know that what He has done in your's and your wife's lives will be the best! May God Bless you with encouraging strength to keep on fighting the good fight of faith! Amen! Ma Betty

A lot of people wonder why God let all those people die in the tsunamies and so many people are hurting in so many other ways I am reminded that God only does Good things all else is the result of sin. I cannot and won't say all those in Japan were sinners. The Word tells us that the rain faills on both the good and the bad. Sin is so rampant all over the world that I cannot help but think these eruptions are the 'rocks crying out'. So many things going on from large scale fish kills that are unexplained to even bee populations dying off (and they are the ones pollunating the crops), that I feel there is a rainstorm hitting everyone.....the rain storm of sin and its consequences.

As I say the consequences of sin are like rain and both get hit by it - good and evil. For anyone to say God did it would not be right as far as I know. The rampant sin is shaking even the foundations of the earth to its core. We must remember we are children of God and to honor and praise Him and glorify His name. No one and nothing can snatch us out of His hands. God bless and praying for you Steve.
