Life is Beautiful

and HARD!  It is difficult to appreciate the beauty and wonder as we deal with our brokenness.  I really do appreciate the revised translation at the end of the Nicene Creed:

I look forward to the resurrection of the dead.

I know the victory is already won.
I know that with God all things are possible
I know that God will make all things good.
Today, I am saddened by the news that a man killed his soon-to-be ex-wife and 10 and 14 year old children.  Then, he called 9-1-1 and shot himself while still on the line.
I learned that Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure was so concerned about pleasing people who believe that unwanted babies must be killed, that they rescinded their decision to withhold funding from Planned Parenthood.
I have learned that all forms of hormonal contraception not only work as abortifacients at times, but are listed as Class One Carcinogens due to their direct link to breast, uterine, and liver cancer.
Why are so many people so greedy, selfish, and foolish that they are willing to harm themselves and others for the sake of instant gratification?  Why don't more people believe in the Truth of eternal life and seek God's will?
To think, as a young woman, I believed people are innately good.  I can no longer believe that.  I always knew we are sinners, and - DUH! - sin is not good.  How did I get so confused?
God have mercy on the lost souls.
God have mercy on all who suffer due to decisions they did not make.
