And Where Were You? My best friend’s mother took her own life. We were in high school at the time. It came as a surprise, kind of. Her previous attempt was unsuccessful, so she tried again. Suicide can do weird things to a family. Question marks float in the air sometimes never being resolved. Guilt can come and rest on shoulders. Plausible answers temporarily cover the shame. “Oh, there must have been something wrong.” Mummers about the town as you feel the starting eyes. One question: Where is God in all this? Pain can convince us that He has left. Somehow His presence is sucked away and clouds are left about our heads. Truth is, His temple is not based on our feelings.

Maybe all could be summed up with this command. “Keep your brain.” Crack and meth are seen as bad boys. Their ability to alter the mind are immediate and severe. Hence, the government steps in to regulate by forbidding. Alcohol, on the other hand, is permitted as a balancing act. Prohibition was not a success. It just showed people are willing to fight, and pay for, the right to cruise about society in gatherings. Face it, people have a lot of fun and lay down many burdens at the doors of pubs and bars. So, does God have a beef with the barley? He has given us our minds as command centers. Choices w...
