Blessing and Curses: Response to Gus

Gus wrote this:
I am troubled by the premise of your new show that in stories filled with pain and pathology—things just aren’t working very well—it is most likely because of defying God’s design and when things are going well it is most likely because of an alignment “with” God’s design.

The Scars of Life

It wasn’t a very happy Christmas. At least as far as Michael was concerned. How could he be just a teenager and already dread Christmas so much?

Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.” Hebrews [...]

How I Need My Gastrocnemius!

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Hebrews 12:1
Okay, I know what you will say. And I probably shouldn’t even tell you. But, it’s [...]
