I’m honestly asking - why did God allow Coronavirus to hit us? It hits the old people - many of whom have lived good lives...

Great question! I believe it is a part of God’s sovereignty, all things are under His control. So we’re not always going to have the answers to why he allows things to happen...psalm 115:3 “Our God is in the heavens, and he does whatever he pleases”. so while many have lived “good lives”, we have to accept it’s apart of a bigger plan. Death and illness does not always mean you lived a bad life. We see that in the story of Job where he was one of God’s most faithful servants, yet God allowed Satan to test Job even though God knew he was blameless and upright. He pretty much cursed God, yet he still put his hope in the Lord in the end. Romans 8:28 “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[a] have been called according to his purpose.” We have to trust him even though we don’t understand. I believe there will be amazing testimonies and people will seek God in this time. Stay blessed.

Confession time. I absolutely despise flying. I go out of my way to avoid it. I will drive to a client overnight and not sleep before getting on an airplane.

Any suggestions to ease the phobia quickly?! Help.

I'm usually not big on debating which health tech is "better" (as long as it's accurate and works for you, enjoy it), but my Garmin has a 19% battery and 21 days of battery left. And that's on full power mode, so I can still text, calls, email, etc, use GPS, tap-to-pay NFC, an LED Flashlight, and all the state-of-the-art health insights I need training for a 100K run. If you really want a high-end athlete's watch, why would you land on Apple's "Ultra" watch, which only gets up to 1.5 day/charge?

Looking for some advice. I'm 35 turning 36 soon. After 2 months of trying with my husband, I got pregnant. We were so happy until finding out 7 weeks later we miscarried. My doctor is telling me to wait another 6 months and keep trying. Then we would start looking at fertility and going down that route. It has been 2 months and haven't gotten pregnant (after the miscarriage). I'm thinking of setting up an appointment with fertility clinic now versus waiting another 4 months. Any advice for me?

Christian men, why are there so few of you in churches? One seasoned deaconess at my church theorizes it’s because 1) Men who go astray tend not to come back for reasons of guilt, whereas women who do tend to rely on their faith/church families even more for support 2) Many churches are no longer missional. So the sense of purpose, of building something etc. is lost for men. Curious to know what you think, and if you can invite your male friends. We need husbands over here. 😅
