Here is another way to look at God: rather than a Diety that knows all and sees all, I think of him like the CEO of a gigantic corporation, who is so busy trying to run the company, he cannot keep track of eveything that goes wrong, but if a disgruntled customer writes a polite request to Him to help with a problem, that no one else was able to properly solve, He c do whatever is needed to make the customer satisfied, and even goes out of His way to apologize for the inconvenience. I mean seriously speaking, how can we imagine any being who can create life, and everything else in existence, and then stand by and watch it be destroyed, or made to suffer unneccesarily? It just is not logical! So maybe we need to communicate better, and we will have better "blessings" or healings, or whatever we need for our loved ones and ourselves. [OO] LOOKING FOR RADIOS!
