Maybe God doesn't do the kind of stuff you've been led to believe God does. Maybe the role of God in the Universe isn't what you've been taught. Maybe it is entirely different from the model of God which you were told was not a model, but a Reality...
As if we, with our marvelous but little human minds, can know!

If God is real, and absolute, and perfectly God, then if we are disappointed, then who do you suppose is working with the wrong equations? Who needs to reframe the picture?
My father, a scientist told me, "Ask the question you really want the answer to."
And, listen to the answer, even if it seems at first to make no sense.
The Universe is, to me, a great, multi-dimensional jigsaw puzzle, with no outside edges. Each of us has bags of pieces collected over our lifetimes from our own experience, and from others whose experience we trust.
What I pour out here is my bag of pieces: If you see some you like, that look like they might fit into your puzzle as you've got it put together so far, take them and play with them and see what you get. Ignore the ones that are clearly not part of the part of the puzzle you're working on. And if you don't mind, I will paw through the pieces you spill out here, and get all giddy when I find a new one that fits mine!
I love that feeling of exhileration that comes when another piece clicks into place, and its seams disappear, and the picture is that bit more revealed...!
