Wednesday's article, "Disappointed With God" by Jack Kinsella, will also be linked to the Daily Update page.
 

 

EXCERPT:
 

 

???

Although few of us want to admit it, it is my firm suspicion that everybody has found themselves, at one time or another, disappointed by God.

Among those who DO admit to it, there are those who've gone the extra half-inch from being disappointed BY God into being disappointed WITH God. And with church. And with other Christians. And with doctrinal divisions. And with the whole spiritual conflict in general.
