Jabber, that's on my list of things to ask God.

Last week, one of the most beautiful women I've ever known died suddenly - on her way to church! She was so full of life, very active in the church and her community, had a close-knit family with her sons and grandchildren - only about 50 years old. It's downright baffling how such a healthy, vibrant woman who brought so much joy to so many lives could just drop dead while others so much older and sicker languish in hospital beds just begging to die. It's not that I think or even imagine that one life means more than another, it's not my call, and I know better than to question God's purpose for anyone other than myself. Still, I admit, it baffles me. Why some people live forever when they'd rather die, and others die so young when they'd rather live forever.
