The God of Loss and Grace

Dr. Bob (whose blog I never saw before but which I like very much) has written a gorgeous and very wise response to this post regarding my hearing loss.

The real answer is simple but not satisfying: God is good; pain and loss, evil and meaningless–and grace bridges and heals that hopeless incongruency which demands explanation and finds none.

Ordinarily, I wouldn’t post something like this - that brings so much of “me” into it (although, oddly enough, I’ve done it twice, today)- but I thought this was a profound and helpful piece and wanted to share it with you - it certainly can stand alone. Enjoy. And thanks, Dr. Bob.
