Newspapers are HUGE downers

I read in the papier today that a family of 7 kids and their mother died in a house fire in Niagara region this week-end. Can you imagine? All of them....and they couldn't get out...not one. I don't get how a fire that big can just start and noone had a chance. I can't wrap my head around it. Brutal. I know God isn't in charge of the bad things that happen in this world...and somehow we are supposed to use our hurt and pain to help others and such, but I don't see what good can come of this...and I think I am an optimist by nature but I just can't see the positive side to this....sheesh. I need a clementine. Much better. I think I need to start watching the news more often...or actually read the paper because I...haha, lots my train of thought, my roommate Courtney is making a horrible noise about hating her life because she has a midterm, a paper due and a presentation tomorrow....BRUTAL. Well, I do believe it is shower time. I shtink. Night y'all.

What's even more amazing that the father, instead of turning away from God or perhaps blaming him (as I might have a tendancy of doing...), is praying his way through this. Apparently his family says that his faith is the only thing getting him through this. Such faith... wow. Imagine losing your 7 kids and your spouse who was also pregnant with another child? Wow - Thank God for his faith!
