"God makes the plans. We just ride along"

Do you really think he gets involved on that level. How did it go?

"Let's see, in the 19th day of the 7 month of the 2005 years after the romans kill me/my son I will have an unhealthy rotten to the core tree break and fall on a woman sitting with her adult children... that's it!" "That's the plan. Yeah senseless tree death... that tops of all my creation and plans." "Perfect finishing touch."

Really???

God also gave us arborists, Department of Parks, the paper companies, DRCHIPPERs, termites, fires, carpenter ants, chain saws, logging companies, and most of all free will to sit where we want when we want.. even if it is the wrong place.. which every place is at some time or another.

I feel very bad for this woman's family, but do you really think it was all part of some ones original plans? Through the billions of years of earths history this is just a blip in time. I really don't know if it was chosen in advance.

Pray for the family who lost a wife, mother, grandmother, etc. to a very unfortunate ACCIDENT of nature and poor tree health. But this bizarre death a part of a loving God's plans?

So would you rather she have died at that same moment after a long painful struggle with cancer? or perhaps after being raped and dismembered while still alive by moslem terrorists? Death is death. It's the step we all have to take to get to our eternal reward (whatever that reard may be). If God chooses to have a tree fall on someone when it's their time to go who are you to say no?

God's plan for us changes daily as we either obey or disobey Him. That is, He sets a course for our life and constantly adjusts events around us to bring us to where He wants us to be. The only question is how much pain and suffering, or joy and triumph do we want to go through in order to get there.

I am not wise enough to know all the ramifications of this death. How will her kids react, or the people who live nearby, or all the people on FR who read about it. But God is.
