When Bad Things Happen (Part 1)
Rabbi Kushner could not comprehend how a loving, supposedly merciful and compassionate and just God, could allow such a tragedy to befall him and his loved ones.

But what brought Phil Michelson to that moment in time was not the many tournaments that he won in the past, but those that eluded him.

Protector
Proverbs 19:21 it says Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails. What a man desires is unfailing love; better to be poor than a liar. The fear of the Lord leads to life: Then one rests content, untouched by trouble.
