Pretty good answer!
"How do you reconcile your faith with the enormity of this tragedy?"
Two better questions: "How do you reconcile your faith with the existence of annoying reporters asking inane questions? Wouldn't a kind, just, loving God spare his worshippers the agonizing tedium of the so-called news broadcast on television?"
I love this--- some network reporter tries to put a pastor on the spot and instead the pastor gets some free airtime to declare the true meaning of christianity to the whole world. It looks to me like god put the perfect words in his mouth!
Almost 60 years ago my grandmother was one of six people killed in a Palm Sunday gas explosion at my home town church and I can say with certainty than no one in that community was ever asked to reconcile their faith with the enormity of the tragedy.

1991 grad makes her about a 1986 high school grad, which makes her born around 1968. 2006 - 1968 = ~38 years old, which points to severe damage by the publik hi skool sistum, followed by toxic exposure to the City of Evil.

Tragic weather upheavals are temporal things, faith is eternal. It's what gets you mentally and physically through tough events.

Profiles in Class Warfare: Kate Snow Flashes $20 to Demagogue Tax Cut, a May 11, 2006 blog article by some guy named "Finkelstein".
It's probably the first and most common question. All religions deal with it. Unfortunately for the sound-bite lady, it is not the kind of question that can be directly answered in words to most who watch TV.
What answer was the interviewer expecting? "Yes, I was so wrong. God led me astray - I should have listened to Al Gore. From now on, I will adopt the True Faith of Global Warming, and Saint Albert will be my divine guardian." ;)
"Temporal things change on a daily basis. "
Unless something good happens, then it's, "Praise Jesus."
Bad stuff is just "[Temporal thing] happens."
NewLand asks ABC 'How do you reconcile your tragedies with your lack of faith?'.
The pastor gave the right answer to their question...but who will ask the MSM my question? It's legitimate.
When did the purpose of the media go from reporting the news but to taunting people they don't like?
Laura should be all over this one tomorrow.
Did crickets chirp after his reply?
I despise the media.
Typical lib mindset - it just isn't "fair" unless life is all good, all the time.
