News Flash! God wanted!

(TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 12) BREAKING NEWS

Four men have now been arrested in connection with the murder inquiry in Aylesbury this morning.
An official statement just released by Thames Valley Police reads as follows:
"Police have launched a murder inquiry after a man died following a fight in Aylesbury in the early hours of this morning. Officers were called to Cambridge Street just before 3am after reports that people were fighting in the road. On arrival they found a man with injuries at the scene. He was taken to Stoke Mandeville Hospital where he later died. The man, who has not yet been formally identified, is in his twenties. "

"Well, the man who has not been formally identified is the son of my friend” a colleague of mine confirmed to me, shaking his head in disbelieve and sorrow.

Another young life needlessly taken; another grief stricken family.
More people in prison, their families shamed and bewildered.
Looking for someone to blame other then any obvious, the people asking me the question:
You are a Christian! Where was God??” are the same people who only a short while ago were smirking at me and dismissing my plea to them to take time to find him.

Where was God??? Why don’t you ask him yourselves?!!?!
How can you hear him?
Here’s a tip!
God is often referred to as the still, small voice!

Is it right for people to only ask where God is when bad things happen?...I don't think so somehow. It's a bit shellfish if you ask me! Sorry to hear about your colleagues son though, this sort of thing is becoming a far too common occurence. You never know what's round the corner. Love you Dad!x

Yeah, thanks, son, for the comment! As if there isn't enough sh*t going down in the world.
Here we are living in relative comfort in a peaceful country and those young Herberts go and take themselves out of the gene pool.
Gorram nonsense! Must be getting old! I start to sound like a grumpy old git.
Appreciate you comment, though!
Dad xx

Hi Erik

Sorry to here about your colleague’s son, such as waste, it‘s never fair. You know I am not the most religious person in the world but I don’t blame God when things don’t go my way. I always though that he put us on this Earth gave us common sense and the ability to choose and placed us on our way. Is like they say life is what you make of it, and for some is being at the wrong place at the wrong time, or jus pure bad luck. You can only deal with the hand that you are dealt and try and make the best of it.
