Wonderfully stated; and thank you for the videos.

"That there may actually be a reason for events, including even the worst and most horrific events, to unfold as they do and have done..."

- for me this is where my Christianity aligns with the idea of karma - not the simplistic idea that you have to suffer for the bad things you've done, but the sense that it all needs to balance out, that what you sow is what you reap, good or bad, and that this is how we learn to adjust our thinking and behavior and understanding. It's a simple function of how God has organized the universe, imo.

Thanks very much for this post.

Hey RJ, I saw you were going to be at the Bayfield Bookstore in August. I have a cottage in Grand Bend so thought I'd come up to see you!

That would be lovely! I'd be delighted to meet you -- will look forward to it!
