Were the one that survived God's chosen? Then the ones that died were???????..........And then so on, were those families not blessed?
I tire of this conversation but it really makes little sense to the sensible mind.

Questions?
Just a short post to ask a simple question. I have been reading a lot about the tornadoes and destruction in the South. I read one comment that said , "God has blessed us today, all of our family made it out alive." If this statement is true, what does that say about the ones who didn't survive?

No answer but I hate those kind of statements, too.
I hate those kind of statements too and I honestly think the people saying those things don't even consider what the opposing side of that statement is or how it can make a person struggling feel like they are somehow not living up to something.
Did you see this quote from the Angel blog? I really like it. It helps me understand (mentally) the why.
“When someone has an ailment or an illness and they are healed as the result of a blessing, their faith is being strengthened. But for those who aren’t healed but continue faithful, their faith is being perfected. The first is a faith-promoting experience. The second is faith-perfecting.” http://lds.org/ensign/2011/04/faith-and-infertility?lang=eng
