Oklahoma

Why are our children dying? 9 children died in the Oklahoma tornado which oddly enough seemed to have a school as its target. I read an article on CNN today which said many people are sending prayers through twitter and #prayfor has become very common. But this is making atheists mad. Ricky Gervais said he sent money instead because who is hearing our prayers. God is. That's who's hearing our prayers. Of course action is a big part of faith, but prayer moves the hands of God. Was this tornado God's will? Of course it wasn't and anyone with even the smallest idea of who God is would know that. But we havent been praying enough. We can't pray in schools. We can't even have the ten commandments or a nativity set in any public area. We remove God from our lives and then we want to blame Him when disaster strikes. When are we going to learn? Atheists will always foam at the mouth at the slightest mention of God but that does not sway those who firmly believe in Him. And for those of us that do, we need to be convicted to pray more. Alot more.
