Liam

Saw Liam today, my neighbor's grandson and though his 'good' leg was now splinted he had a smile telling me how he was enjoying "The Horse and His Boy". You would think from the smile that was in every aspect of his face that the world was glorious and he was the picture of health and was about to set out for a favorite hike in the Andes. It occurred that such 'unfairness' is without explanation in a godless universe. How can you explain such a thing as a boy that wishes to r...un and climb trees and instead is just getting to hobble around on crutches? Can a deterministic impersonal universe explain this to us satisfactorily? I for one can only imagine a great Artist, Sculptor, Chemist, Anthropologist, would be able to suggest to me the why of such suffering; and that because this Person also is one who redeems, fixes, fuses, makes, heals, paints, chisels, creates, makes all things new, that there is where the explanation can only reside.
