First and Foremost, Bondman, you and the Mrs are mightily in my prayers!
Ok when talking to my gentleman friend tonite we were talking about this as well.

In speaking with my friend tonite, he was saying the same thing , that it was God's plan for us to live in a perfect world, to have perfect bodies and such. It was the man's sinful nature that changed all. God did not plan for any of these dreadful things.
He was explaining that God is so mighty powerful that he could come and stop it all right now and maybe he will or maybe he will wait longer, generations longer, we do not know when he will come. But we do know he is coming. His thought on it is that God wants all people to come to him and that with God knowing that there are millions that are not there yet, that God may just possibly be waiting as he sees more and more come to him.
He also explained that with the bad things that are happening, they do bring more and more folks to Christ. Just as events like 911, Columbine and so much more.
He stated it is hard to see folks suffer. But we must clearly understand that even though we suffer here, when we reach Eternity with him, there is no more pain and suffering. It is a perfect world in Eternity. While we wait to go to Eternity, God wants us to live victorious lives here and he wants us to draw as many possible to Jesus.
I know for myself as you have read a part of my testimony that is was my sinful nature that led to the issues I had. However, Jesus is so awesome! As I see this and recognize this, and turn my heart and MY WHOLE LIFE TO HIM, blessings do flow out.
I do not understand why Bondman and Mrs are going through the pain and suffering that they are, But what I do know, with their love and their obedience to the Lord, and the day the Lord calls them home, it will be an awesome day! They will suffer no more. They will be free of all of that, we all will. Until that day comes, we must walk in faith and love for our Lord Jesus.
We do read in scripture, it is going to get worse. There is going to much more darkness. We must as beleivers stand strong and do not turn away. We need to go forth each day and love others and help them see the light.
Have a super Sunday all!

The answer is God has given us free will, and man in the beginning chosen to sin. Sin is in the world, and is wreaking havoc.
