How's the weather up there?

Why do bad things happen to good people? This question seems to haunt me daily. It is almost as if there is a raincloud following everyone around, and decides to downpour at the most inopportune times. You got a promotion at work? Great, now you have adult-onset acne. Life almost seems to exist in a balance. Like Newtonian physics says, what goes up must come down. But what if something bad happens for no good reason, like something truly bad. On Saturday morning, 4 people whom I knew from my childhood passed away in a plane crash. What justifies that? Religiously, some would say it was their time to go. But dang, in a plane crash of all things? Is this one of those times that that little raincloud may turn into a tornado, spontaniously? It seems to do this back in Jenks, Oklahoma , for sure. So what can we do with this? Embrace the rain. There is always somewhere else to go, always a new journey to take on, and as long as there is life on Earth there will be weather.
