Please pray for my little town!

Why do bad things happen to good people? Why do bad things happen at all? It seems like our little town has been over-flowing with bad things happening and sadness and hurt. I know God has a plan for it all, but sometimes it's really difficult to figure it out. I guess it's not really our place to try to figure out why.

In the past month the following have happened:

• a young guy in our town who had just gone through extensive chemo for leukemia was just getting back to a "normal" life of going to school and hanging out with his friends when they realized that his leukemia was back. He now needs a bone marrow transplant and is in a clinical trial of a new type of chemo. He's only 14. Please keep him and his family in your prayers.
• a well-known guy from our town in his 40s had a sudden massive stroke that left him with severe brain damage. He passed away last week. He has two kids. One is in her 20s and his son is graduating high school next week.
• a young couple from town just lost a baby. He survived only a couple of days. Please keep them all in your prayers too. It's a tough tough time for them right now.

Not only did all of that happen just in the past month, it was more like the past 2 weeks. It's so sad. Our whole town is grieving in one way or another. None of these people did anything to deserve any of this. No one ever does. It's just so heart-breaking to see it all happening. I don't understand why things like this happen. I guess I never will. All I can do is just keep saying prayers and trust that God knows what he's doing.
