Why does God allow bad things to happen to good people?

Here\\u2019s the short answer\\u2026He doesn\\u2019t.

In this week\\u2019s episode I\\u2019ll give you a scripture-based answer to back this up, but here\\u2019s all you really need to know:

  • God is good.
  • The devil is bad.

\\u2018Nuff said.

Tip Of The Week

A magic photo bag that is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside.

I have been faced with a travel dilemma for some time now. I live in a smallish city that often requires me to take smaller regional jets with limited overhead bin space to get where I need to go.

That\\u2019s a problem because I travel with my photo gear, business essentials, and my carry-on bag with my clothes. All that baggage makes me look like a sherpa loaded down to climb some great mountain. This is not a good look for me by the way.

Enter the Airport Essentials photo bag, from ThinkTank.

It checks all the boxes that I need in a bag, and the best part is that it\\u2019s magically bigger on the inside than it is on the outside.
