‘Despite tens of thousands of faithful prayers, Olivia didn’t make it. We would be fools to think we can understand God’s ways and explain them to others. But we would be just as foolish to think that He was helpless, absent, or mistaken.’

No indeed – God wasn’t mistaken when he willed four little girls to die agonizing deaths at the hands of a lunatic with a gun. Pastor Lange admonishes us not to think for a second that God’s hand wasn’t in Olivia’s tortured last days with a big bullet in her brain. We would be fools to think that God’s plan for this family didn’t involve the mother going mad and ripping four bullets directly into the heads of two girls and two babies sleeping in cribs, and then plugging herself. Faith means knowing that some day an event that looks like hell will turn out to be heaven.
