Bill, you are such an unadventurous plodder when it comes to this sort of thing... ;-) Come one, stretch your mind. Speculate a bit! Ponder the unknown. Can't you, for heaven's sake, come up with any ideas as to why a wise and loving God would NOT answer certain prayers????? Well?

Don't disappoint me, Bill. Show me that you are capable of discussing ideas for a change rather than just reiterating your faith in the mundane materialities of life for the 11 billionth time.
