    Contributed by Jeffrey Cox on Jan 13, 2004
    based on 18 ratings
     | 9,389 views

This is based on the assumption that we deserve more than we are getting; that this bad thing shouldn’t be happening to us ...read more

Last week we talked about that age-old problem of what you do what bad things happen to good people. We thought about how, when good people get into tough times, it just feels as though ...read more
