Turtles, Trees, and the Spiral of Time

Caleb Wilde's Confessions of a Funeral Director is one of my regular reads.

Today, he's got a guest post by blogger Joy Bennett.

The whole thing is worth reading, but for me, this is the money quote:

How can the things which wound and scar us so deeply become the very things that strengthen us and equip us to help others?
Jesus.
This is one of the many beautiful themes we find the Bible. Terrible things happen. I will not say that God causes tragedybut I will declare that God is not thwarted by it. 

Wow.

I need to remember that.
