Thanks, I accept that you don't. Sorry if it came off preachy, I really was just trying to give a rationale for the situation that was described, thanking God for a crucifix that was not destroyed, and probably got long winded, but at least it wasn't JR long winded!

Just to be clear I was saying it is silly of the media to think people prayed that way. I am not a praying man but if I was it would be that god would give me the strenght to make it through events like the tornado not to spare me from tornadoes/ bad events.

I guess the best story to tell non-believers about god's will is this one(it is simply and to the point once you guys start citing the bible and all the versus most non-believers just turn you off; my two cents):

Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene he noticed two sets of

"LORD, you said that once I decided to follow
you, you'd walk with me all the way.

there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when
I needed you most you would leave me."[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/CENTER]

"My son, my precious child,
I love you and I would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you."[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

That is a very good poem. As to citing the verses, I just didn't want anyone coming back saying I was pulling it out my backend.

and I agree with you about how the media portrays things.

Re: Pics For Sharing & Debating
 

See citing the versus is a waste because for all I know you could be making up the versus. I don't even know how to look up a versus that is why the above poem is at least for me more powerful when you describe your faith. If you throw the bible at people they are going to run away.
