Azriel Posted April 21, 2004 Posted April 21, 2004 Because it is. (I'm trying my new Mommy words out)
jasJis Posted April 21, 2004 Posted April 21, 2004 Because Sin, lack of Faith, and the imperfections of humanity skews our perception of what's important.
cmotherofpirl Posted April 21, 2004 Posted April 21, 2004 Because. .. is the really short answer. Why do you think life should be easy? This is not our home, but a waystation on the track to eternity. Waystations are not known for their comfort. I always go read the psalms or Job when life smacks me down.
Dave Posted April 21, 2004 Posted April 21, 2004 But despite the fact that life ain't easy, we can turn the hard times into wonderful opportunities to get close to God and help save souls by uniting ourselves to Christ's sufferings.

dUSt Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 Am I seeing things or did jasJis just post something?
p0lar_bear Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 I once heard a Christian comedian who's favorite Scripture was "And it came to pass...." It's obvious you are having a lot of trouble right now, but this too will pass. Try to learn whatever it is God is trying to teach you, trust in Him to see you through, and unite your sufferings to His... Maybe not much comfort, but...
PedroX Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 Oh my gosh, Mike Wernke? Am I crazy, or was that his bit? Whoa, flashes of DiGarmo and Key mixed with a fat comedian who claimed to be an ex-satanist. too much... peace...
p0lar_bear Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 Actually, I think his name was Mark something...He's the one that does the parodies of Christian songs.
Sojourner Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 Lowry, Mark Lowry. I'm not sure if he's the comedian in question, but he's who you're thinking of, PB.
