Introduction:
          So many Bad Things Happen to Good People.

          Gilda Radner - "I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that
                some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning,
                middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the
                moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen
                next. Delicious ambiguity."
          Why does God allow it?
          Does He cause it?

Bible Learning:
          1. What does the Bible say?
          2. Matt 5:44-46
          3. Job 1:9-22 -
          4. Ephesians 2:8-10

Bible Application:
1. Again, why does God allow it?
2. Again, does God cause it?

Life Response:
1. How does this apply to you?
2. How do you, can you help somebody cope with tragedy for which this is no explanation?
