I wish you could make this go away.

The Bible says God is good. It's His personality, His nature. It's impossible for Him to do bad; it's outside His very character.

God has made me into a tough, battle-hardened believer. I am very grateful to have those eleven years behind me. But I used them. I chose to survive with my faith intact.
