Dearest Friends:

I am writing to you to ask for your help in shedding light on a

perplexing situation I find myself contemplating.

I have selected you as a group to aid me because you have known me for a

number of years and I value your opinion. Your religious experiences

are varied and that is important to the problem with which I am faced.

Over the years, we have all observed the seemingly random factors that

affect all of our lives, sometimes without apparent rhyme or reason. We

have seen some marriages dissolve over nothing, and others grow stronger

under adverse conditions. We have seen fate play a role in who survives

critical illnesses and who succumbs to them. We have all seen good

people suffer great misfortunes while some people of low character

thrive. In our lifetime, we have seen Churches and Religious

institutions all around the world become revised, televised, energized

and even scandalized. We are all well aware that a higher power has

control of nearly all things. Personally, I have stood in the doorway

of a 7/11, amid a shootout between the police and a gunman, and walked

away unscathed. On a golf course, I saw a lightning bolt strike a man

dead while those of us nearby where untouched. We all watched as

Hurricane Katrina ravaged some areas of the coast and left other nearby

homes standing intact.

The enormity of these random and seemingly unfair applications of good

or bad fortune is at the core of my dilemma. Over the years I have

studied sacred writings of all major religions, and recently I have

reviewed many of these great books searching for an answer. Alas, I

have been unable to fathom the following, and now I pose the question to

you

Why would the highest power in this universe take Anna Nicole from us

and leave Hillary behind?
