But frankly we don’t have much to stand on here. It’s easy to distance ourselves from the situation that these people find themselves in, for them it was very real, or at least that is what they might tell us if they were telling the story.

Do we have complete faith and trust in God, or do we resort to getting angry at God for not moving and reacting the way we think He should.
