Living in Kuwait

My 8 year old daughter, Megan, seems to be pondering life's toughest questions lately.  She has asked me several times why God allows bad things to happen.  This is a difficult question to answer at the best of times.

But she is smart, and I think she's worked it out.  Today she gave me her thoughts on this subject.

"Mommy.  I think we are sort of like God's pet sea monkeys." she said.  "Only now, He has a new hamster.  That's why our tank is dirty and there isn't enough food to go around."

Heavens.  I hope that she is wrong ....
