I don't know what she says but I am pretty sure that I am glad I don't have speakers on my office computer.

DUDE!!!
When my son was in high school he tried that one on me a few times. I told him, "I am not 'Dude'. I am 'Dad'. You can call me that."

Now that he is 25 I probably wouldn't even correct him. But I do hate it. My nephew uses it from time to time and I nail him on it as well.

By the way, I do like "more gooder." (I expect Rourke hates it, though.)

How about not knowing the differences among "fact," "data," and "evidence"?

Well, at least the first one... The second one would be more accurate if it were "ALMOST everything happens for a reason".

i don't think they're true at all. some people just can't handle everything & i don't think God constantly tests some people & lets others slide. the God i know is a loving one.

maybe i should have said that i hate when people say these things when a tragedy hits.
these words are not helpful at all.
been there...trust me!

What I know is that the hell I went through in my life prepared me for what we had to do to get through Mia's ordeal. And because I had a horrible upbringing I was prepared for that hell, so that I could lead my wife through this. Julie wasn't prepared for something so dramatic, not even close.

So maybe God does give us things we can handle and things happen for a reason. But what I question is the fairness in it all. We live in reap what we sew world, or at least that is what the men of the cloth teach. I guess I'll find out for sure someday.

What I don't care for is someone who hasn't been through anything telling me God only gives you what you can handle.

Not look for another reason why they don't work. Of course, not everyone is the optimist that I am, so I can only imagine how hard it may be for them.

But I do agree with the principle behind your 2nd and 3rd sentences. I don't think any bad things come from God. But that He uses those bad things, if we let Him. I certainly don't believe that God 'gave' my daddy cancer. Or that He 'took' away your daddy. God, to me, doesn't bring death, but life. That said, the phrase "God doesn't give you more than you can handle" takes on almost a whole other meaning. My point with the phrase is: If we let it be true, then it is. If not, then it's a crapshoot.

Unless someone that you knew very, very well told you that, how could you even know what that person has been through? I understand where you are coming from, but the underlying basis of the statement is, 'I don't care how much truth you are saying because I'm being too judgmental to care'.

I guess my point is truth is truth, no matter the source.
