Maybe despite people saying and singing
God is in control, there’s some randomness
In the creation equation.
Maybe regardless of how pious you are
Or how well you follow what you think are the rules
Random things can still happen to you.
Maybe it is analogous to doing everything
Right to protect your health, diet, exercise, etc.
Yet health problems can still happen.
Maybe when a tree falls on a woman in a park
in New York and kills her it had nothing
to do with how good or bad she was.
Maybe a lot of life is just randomness that no
Hand in heaven or on earth can prevent
From happening.
Bob Boyd
