Both the United Kingdom and parts of North America have recently been hit by severe cold weather. Over the weekend snowfall in Minneapolis caused the roof of a sports arena to collapse. This has led to people wondering why it is so cold if the world is heating up, although world climate and local weather are two different things.
Following two bomb blasts in Sweden, a house in Luton is being searched. The house belongs to the suspected bomber; although neighbours appear to be in shock that he could possibly do such a thing. What leads people to such desperate actions often seems hard to understand.
Monday's Manchester United football game against Arsenal will be watched by some of the Chilean miners who were trapped underground for so long. As they were trapped in the mine I wonder how many times they asked the question: why is this happening to us? However, they kept going and were eventually rescued.
This week WordLive is delving into the sometimes difficult to understand words of the book of Revelation. But as we have seen above, life isn’t always about understanding everything but about how we respond to what we do know.

I think it's really difficult to explain horrific events.
God, I don't think is asking us to justify why cruelty and disaster happens, but just to speak the truth quietly and clearly. If we are hurting our world through our actions and inaction let's own up to it then get on with building anew in love.
We must always remember that we live in a broken world........Until the Lord makes all things new.
we also have to remember that its our choice what we do whilst here on earth, the time will come for us to justify our actions. Whilst we cannot control horrific events, it is what we do during and after that shows who we are. I pray daily thanking the Lord for my redeemer, who loves me personnally
