When someone is lost and there’s the tiny hope that they may still be alive (hope) the wound never heals. It keeps bleeding and bleeding until you can find closure.…

    A certain respect comes to a man who just won't give up. Edward Brooke truly lived as that kind of man. He displayed the uncanny ability to try it one more time, with a twist, until he reached his goals. There are many stories and credit given about the elections he won. There are several elections that he did not win, and that may be the more interesting story about the man and his conviction to keep going in the fight against the odds.…

    “Knowing now I would never be alone again never lonely again as in those years God allowed me to be thus as if He did not exist forcing onto me the bitter knowledge that he did not exist in truth or if He did His existence touched in no way upon my own.” (Foxfire 45) While religion should serve as a guide for Maddy, it ultimately leads to her own alienation until she joins FOXFIRE. Before she met Legs and the other original members of the gang, she was an outcast who was lonely. She blames God for her being lonely because, at that time, religion was her guide that trapped her in a state of alienation. However, she also felt abandoned by him because she did not have any living companionship with her.…

    John Swinton’s, “Raging with Compassion: Pastoral Responses to the Problem of Evil”, is the most informative book I have read regarding practical theodicy. Swinton’s pastoral theodicy does not try to explain or deny evil or suffering, but enables the Christian community to live faithfully despite the presence of evil. He explains that lament; forgiveness, thoughtfulness and hospitality are the four-core practices that form the bases of practical theodicy. As I reflect on the four-core practices, which Swinton describes in his book, I can honestly say that I have not witnessed or observed all four-core practices continuously working in any of the churches that I have attended.…
