Inspired By Kelli White - Pie In the Sky

Six times I've looked death in the eye Six times it has passed me by. Yet friends much younger than I Face it once and don't survive. I now struggle with my faith. Especially now, innocents murdered, For what? religion? Why? God protects the weak, the innocent. What! All pie in the sky. Saved from the sea three times, Looked down barrel of many a gun, And once a tank track crowbar whistled past my ear. I prayed to God, I have asked why am I still here. No answer yet and I've prayed for years. All I do now is cry the proverbial river. If God does not deliver then there is one who will, Mother nature, and without malice.

Thank you and you are welcome for the inspiration. I truly believe God has a plan. You are still here because he still needs you. We are his spiritual soldiers in this human world. Some of us skate through and some of us are extreme warriors. God bless you.

His thoughts are not our thoughts..... Trust He knows what He's doing - and remember He created Mother Nature.

With respect to your good self, but with what is going on in this world today, I am now leaning toward the scientific approach, in that nature was around long before human beings invented gods. If what you say is true, in that he has a plan, then it has to be to rid the world of his worse creation, humans. Sorry if I have offended you, truly not my intention, U wish you, and the world peace!
