Life On a Volcano

OUR FIRST YEAR OF MARRIAGE was a nightmare. I wondered what I had created for myself. I thought of all I had given up and self-pity moved in as my constant companion. I thought of the great loss I had suffered when my parents died and the unhappy childhood that resulted from it. Now here I was right in the middle of another sad and unhappy experience. I wondered if there really could be a just God and, if so, why did he subject me to one unhappy circumstance on the heels of another?
