Blogger

Well, as i typed in the address (www.blogger.com) I thought to myself, "Im not really that much of a blogger." But, I will tell you that I have been reading a lot of blogs and I even got my feet wet by subscribing to some blogs and putting them into my google reader which I can easily access from my Blackberry. So, blogging world here I come...again. This Sunday at TOH we are going to be continuing in our series on Questions and Doubts with the question of what to do with anger at God. Tal and I had a really good conversation about that today. I will probably wait until after Sunday to post the contents of that conversation because (not that I really think anyone is reading this) I dont want to let the cat out of the bag as to where he is going. I really had that about the deductive preachers that hand you an outline (especially those really predictable fill in the blank ones where you can get an 8/10 before the sermon even starts) and then give you a mini version of the sermon during the first five minutes. Im sitting there wondering why I should listen to the rest of it if I have already heard a five minute version and I have the outline which tells me all of the important stuff anyways.

What do you do with your anger toward God? Is it ok to be angry with God? Is there a difference between being angry at God and hating God?

Check out this picture i will probably use as a graphic during the sermon.

I like the graphic.

Anger with God. hmmm... I'm probably not the best person to talk about that right now. My "anger" is really more like intensive questioning. If God can arrange so many excellent blessings in my life...and He has ... why could he not arrange to rescue my son from a freak accident on that night almost a month ago? 30 days without John Robert. Unbelievable.

I figure that John gets an email when a comment is made under his comment. John, what is the answer to your question?
