Jesus doesn't choose to <i><b>prevent</b></i> such monstrous events (mustn't interfere with a person's free will and all). Instead he comes <i><b>after</b></i> they've already happened—sometimes years after they've happened—to comfort the victim(s). Is it worth the wait?<br /><br />Penn State officials didn't wait for the season, or even the month, to end; they fired Joe Paterno immediately, as they should have done. Good for them.<br /><br />I suppose many of the students there must have been as confused about it as you were. Nothing else could explain why they rioted over Paterno's dismissal:<br /> <br /><a href="url" rel="nofollow">www.foxnews.com/us/2011/11/10/penn-state-students-flood-streets-after-firing-paterno/</a> <br /><br />Certainly it couldn't have been because they cared more about their school's sports record than a few victimized boys...besides, that was so long ago.<br />That's probably why <i>you</i> didn't mention it either.GMpilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07189308176043748343noreply@blogger.com
