my thoughts

I have such a hard time with infant death.  It seems to be so unimaginable.  How could a loving God do this?

I bring this up because I know of a baby currently on life support.  The mom did EVERYTHING right during her pregnancy.  The baby was healthy in mom.  Then a traumatic birth sent the baby in direst.  She has been on life support for over a week now.  At this point a miracle needs to take place.  The mom just lost her mother only a couple months ago, and she has had a very hard life.  She has lupus and a blood clotting disorder, amongst other problems.  She wasn't supposed to be able to get pregnant, but she did.  And these problems had nothing to do with the baby's current condition.  How could a miracle conception lead to a baby that needs a miracle to live?  How does that work?  

Bonnie would say that God watches the world.  That he allows Satan to create chaos, and man to make his own decisions.  Basically, there isn't a reason (a greater purpose) to the infant dying.  In fact, the only overall purpose God has is to create his Kingdom on Earth; and everything else is just chaos and luck.  That until the "new system" we are going to live in chaos and evil possibilities. 

There is a verse in the Bible that she pointed out to me last week, Ecclesiates 9:11.

"The race is not always to the swift,
Nor the battle to the strong,
Nor satisfaction to the wise, 
Nor riches to the smart, 
Nor grace to the learned.
Sooner or later bad luck hits us all."

But even if it is luck, how come some seem to NEVER get any and others get so much?
