As I said..God’s plan is bigger than we can imagine...The Bible tells us we cannot add even one day to our lives...we are all given a certain amount of time here..and nothing can change that. He called Jessica home, I am wondering how many lives were changed because of her tragic circumstances.

Just as my life was changed through Terri Schiavo’s life. And how my family’s life has been changed since the murder of my brother just before Christmas 2007. He was stabbed in the back by his girlfriend...who let him bleed for 20 minutes before calling the EMT’s. He died 3 hours later at the hospital. Why did this happen? Evil happens...it is part of the fallen state of this world. My brother is gone now...but God has been doing a work of restoration in my family...(riddled with alcohol/drug abuse and all that goes with it)...that would not have happened if not for the death of Tommy. My father just recently died from flesh eating disease...it ate his entire face...why did this happen? Only God knows..he beat a stroke and cancer, yet fell to a scratch on his forehead. But because of this I got reconnected to a cousin...who has since come to the Lord. I have stopped looking at the situations, but I focus on the bigger picture. God is still in control.
