Wisdom's Cry

I've noticed in myself that every time there is bad weather in the forecast, I start asking myself about God's Providence.  I admit that part of it is my own primal fear of severe weather, but mostly it is because of what I hear people say on the news after a storm devistates a town.My great aunt was in Joplin, MO, when it was blown off the face of the earth.  She was picked up, thrown across the lawn into a tree.  She survived, and the family all said that God was with her, or her guardian angel saved her.I believe in guardian angels, and I believe that God can intervene in extraordinary situations, but I am not sure that situations like this should be held up as signs of God's Providential Protection, because it begs the questions:* Why didn't God spare the others?* Why didn't the victim's guardian angels help them?Why would God protect some and not others?The rote answers are trite and meaningless.* Because God has a plan for them* Grace is undiserved* They had stronger faith* They had better moralsGive me
