Why do bad things happen to good people?

I was reading Liddie's blog this morning and nearly cried. I don't know how people can do that to each other, let alone parents to their kids. Why does God, who loves us, allow these things to happen? I know it is not His will, and a whole thing about choice and stuff (very theological isn't it, Heath would have a field-day with me). It still makes me sad when it seems that evil gets the upper hand.

But as sad as I am, i'm also excited, when I hear about how forgiveness has taken place, and a family has been re-united. I don't believe this is possible without the amazing hand of our Father God working in the lives of the people involved.

Liddie, we will be praying for you and your family. God bless
