Strummin Along To The Tune of Life

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO WHAT A RIDE!"

God Bless WV Miners Families


They say that God has a reason for everything. Not that we are meant to understand, we don't, but we have to accept that fact. But sometimes... I have a hard time understanding. I have a difficult time accepting tragedy. Sometimes all I can hope for is that someday it will all make sense and that I have to trust that God is waiting with open arms for his children as they pass through Heavens Gates.
Please take a moment and say a prayer for the WV miners who were tragically taken from their families, that they had the Lord in their heart and are with him at this very moment. Please keep their families in your prayers and hearts, that they may know that Gods plan is for reasons that they don't understand at this moment, but that he has a purpose for their prescious souls to join him in watching over their loved ones. Pray for peace in their community, pray that they can come together and hold each others hearts dear and near, and help each other through this tragedy. Pray for their children, let them know that their fathers loved them and take that love to heaven with them and sending angel kisses to them as they lay their heads upon their pillows each night. Pray for the Fathers, Mothers, Wives, Sisters & brothers, give them peace and strength while grieving their loved ones physical departure.

To everything there is a season,a time for every purpose under the sun.A time to be born and a time to die;a time to plant and a time to pluck up that which is planted;a time to kill and a time to heal ...a time to weep and a time to laugh;a time to mourn and a time to dance ...a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing;a time to lose and a time to seek;a time to rend and a time to sew;a time to keep silent and a time to speak;a time to love and a time to hate;a time for war and a time for peace.
ecclesiastes 3:1-8

    Amen to that. Its hard to understand. I wrote in my journal that the Lord is still the Lord and He is still in control. Its hard to understand why these things happen, but I think you summed it up quite well in the Bible verses you quoted.

    The families and community are in my prayers.
