As you can see, some people have a deep personal matter they want to get to the bottom of, while others are simply curious as to how the world works. I hope if you're reading this that you realize you are not alone in your questions, and someone out there is probably wondering the same thing. So ask away, because I know God would love to hear your questions (and he just might give you some answers).
