Things just aren't fair on this earth

Last Thursday, a classmate from Southeast Polk lost his life to Leukemia. He was in a few of my classes and we may have accidentally bumped into each other or been partnered up for something or another. It can be so strange to think of someone who was so filled with life to be dead. He just didn't seem like the kind of guy that would lose but life isn't fair. This dominion is not perfect and it's definitely not heaven. Although, I can only claim him as an acquaintance and a classmate I feel like my heart has been torn out of my chest and ripped apart right before my very eyes. It's not fair that he had Leukemia, it's not fair that he left all his friends wondering why, it's not fair that his parents have to bury their child. It's just not fair and there's nothing I can do to stop it.

All I can do is tell people what is coming after death. All I can do is hope, pray, cry, beg that people understand what is coming. Not everyone goes to Heaven. I don't know if Robbie is in Heaven. I don't know him well enough to say so but it's between Robbie and God. I really hope he is there. I don't want anyone to go to Hell.

I was driving when reality smacked me across the face. I wanted to rip the steering wheel right out of the dash board but I refrained. Instead, I screamed at the top of my lungs at Satan. One day, Satan will have a second death and will burn forever in hell. There will be a new heaven. God will wipe the tears away from our eyes. Pain and suffering will be a thing of the past. No more cancer, no more car accidents, no more suicides. It will all be dealt with. The happily ever finally comes at the end of the age. We just gotta get there

I care about Southeast Polk and the people there. I get so weary from knowing people I care about are in pain. I hope this spurs you on to share the graciousness of God through Christ. It's the only lasting hope that we can depend on. We have nothing, but in Christ we have everything.
