Ok, so this hasn't been my best week ever... with the stuff with Tom (see post below), some unpleasant financial issues, my car completely dying, job problems-- so you get the picture... my faith has been weak at it's best. I'm not all to happy with God right now. Several months ago, when dealing with another round of questioning, I wrote the following list of questions I'd like to ask God. A friend once said to me that no one better be behind her when she gets to Heaven, because she's got a ton of questions for God!! This list represents my frustration, some serious, some light. Please feel free to comment/answer any of the questions!
SO TELL ME GOD....

The Bible says, “Honor thy father and mother”…. does this apply to victims of child abuse as well?
Why do skunks have to stink?
If you can create things like rainbows and shooting stars, why can’t you stop people from hurting each other?
The Bible says, “Where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them”, so does this mean that when I pray all alone you’re not there?
How do you feel about Rap music?
When people are “speaking in tongues”, is that what Heaven sounds like?
