YES that is one explination.....but be fair to me and
others while it may not make more sense. I think it makes at
least equal sense that to believe in Chaos as a factor is well at
least up there with God.

To my way of looking at the world Chaos better explains what
happens to us and who we are than a master creator.

After all in my Chaotic world people can be INSANE. I think
Roman Catholics and yes Christians and others of faith have a
hard time believeing in INSANITY because well "IF" insanity
exists then it puts into question FREE WILL and everyone's ability
to make a clear choice for or against God.

To me I see Chaos every single day. And in my life Chaos has
been a major factor. I have a Chrstian friend she believes that
God makes things happen. On occasion she feels God is
punishing her. At other times she thinks God is rewarding her.
Once she was down in the dumps...she could not see a way our
of her economic situation. I told her that with time things will
change. One day a job with a fellow Christian just appeared she
thought it was the work of God...I thought it was simply that she
did not know of this fellow or his needs for an employee and
with time she became aware of this job opportunity. She was
insistant that it was God who saved her economic problems.
And thank God she got to work for a fellow Christian. The funny
thing is this fellow Christian turned out to be a right old
BASTARD and her work experience was horrible. I will not fill
you in on all the politics and expectations and other things that
made this so...let us just say her gift from God did not turn out
nearly as nice and wonderful as one might expect from a gift
from God. To me it was just the fact that she did not know all
the factors relaated to this person's personality and what the
jjob would entail. Nor did this person inform her.....he was
given a pass because he was a Christian and she assumed A:
Being a Christian would make him a good boss, and besides God
had arranged this for her..so how bad could it be?

Well she found out. Later a real fine job did open up and she
took it. To my knowledge and experience this was just another
story in a Chaotic world where we simply do not know all the
things and events happening all around us. Most of the time
even in country's not as wealthy and or fee as the United States
and despite how terrible things may appear to be life actually
works out (not always mind you..but for the vast majority of us it
does) with enough determination and patience. Time cures
most if not all wonds and for me when ever I'm in a place I think
means total and sure disaster I have learned not to panic cause
with time most of my problems my certain disaster simply
disapear....for factors I were unaware of at the time kick into
play and change things. Give me opening I did not see. I NEVER
panic..I just wait.

So which is it? All things in God's time, or just wait and things
will change?
