I think that passage is ignored unjustly, too. Jesus' response to "why do bad things happen to good people" was "the amazing thing is when bad things DON'T happen."

Thanks for your amplification on the passage.

Funny, I had just happened across a print-out of that passage while cleaning my desk
the same day I saw the thread about the doctor's mishap.

And it IS amazing that passage isn't the core text for more sermons. Maybe lots of
preachers think it's too sobering in it's portrayal of real life for the average parishioner.
