Peace Without Any Answers
April 13, 2022 | By Yoska Guta TD’25
Why do bad things happen to good people? Why does God allow evil? Where is God in the midst of suffering?
Growing up, my parents always taught me that it was okay, and even good, to ask questions about and of God. And although I wanted to believe them, I was convinced that if I questioned God’s character or His decisions, He would either meet me with wrath or be deeply disappointed. So, I made a subconscious decision to never question.
“God Loves You”
December 18, 2021 | By Hannah Turner, BK ‘24
“That’s funny,” my high school friend said when she heard the common Christian phrase thrown out in a conversation about racism. She had concluded the very opposite: God didn’t love her, if there even was a god.
Submission
Dec 2, 2012 | Jeanni Hwang TD ‘14
I thrive in solitude. I loved independence. I'd convinced myself I was a natural at serene self-assurance. Like a swan.
Often when I'm puzzled about where certain traits of mine come from, I just need to look back a bit. I grew up learning to handle most things myself. My parents never asked me if I had finished my homework before going to bed, if I had documents for them to sign that permitted me to watch PG-13 clips of films in class, which flight I booked online before I booked them.
No More Than I Already Am
Oct 26, 2012 | Shelly Kim PC '15
My mom visited me over the past several days. It was a beautiful time.
As we talked and caught up on life, I realized that my relationship with my mom looks less like it did when I was 5 and more like that of two sisters or friends. But I am no less my mom's daughter. In fact, I am learning more of what that actually means.
