No one can deny the irony in this story. No one can deny that God is at work in these circumstances — He’s ALWAYS at work, even though we may not know exactly how.

I cannot and do not find the death of this man and woman’s family members to be “poetic justice,” nor do I rejoice in it. Nor can I read this story, note the amazing elements of it, and yet deny that there is a DEFINITE message being communicated by God.

It behooves us to humble ourselves before God, remember that we are heir to the same tragedies — and to the same nature of pride and arrogance that seem to characterize these people — and to pray simply, “Lord, do not let me boast of my ‘righteousness,’ but of YOUR GLORY. Enable me to stand for your truth and justice, and draw ALL men unto you and out of their sins.”

Beyond that, we do God and His work a disservice...

The sanctimony and strange fatalism that permeate the beliefs of some people has always been a mystery to me. I can only guess that it allows you to avoid any true emotion or sense of personal horror by dismissing everything as "God's will".

It sickens me that seven gorgeous, innocent toddlers died in stark terror and I would be just as accurate if I said the "...DEFINITE message being communicated..." was from Satan.

The individual hearts and souls of the mothers who murdered their unborn children deserve the message, unfortunately they probably won't get it.

I deny that God is at work in these circumstances.
