    Sometimes it may seem as if God doesn't care. The storms come and we wonder where he is. We are overwhelmed with life's duties and wonder where our help is. A loved one dies unexpectedly and we wonder why God didn't stop it. Does God really care? Yes!

Ten months later her landlord forced open the door to the flat, concerned that she hadn’t paid rent for ...read more
