Evil Fingers

Evil Fingers They have done it again, Those evil fingers from the sky, And yesterday some rose as I, and Today are gone. When we understand what we deserve, Handed down as people and nations, It would be easy to look at life that way, But no, oh, no, justice falls on the good and the bad, Tell me, tell me, then How natural disasters not caused by human hand, Fit in to harm our fellow man? It is one of the mysteries of our God, Whose sure compassion will rise from sorrow. Again revealing who we truly are, If we love Him.

Beautifully written thoughts my friend. I read about the tornadoes as we caught the tail end of the front the blew through Texas and Oklahoma and other Midwest states. I have been to first Monday in Canton and it hurt to hear this city was hit, though it hurts to hear of anyone losing their homes or their lives. Nicely expressed.
