Over the years I have been asked dozens of questions about why people go through adversity.

 
I have learned the answers to these questions partly from personal experience and a great deal of study of adversity in the Bible. With the current pandemic that is disrupting so many lives, we thought it would be good to tackle these questions for our TGIF friends
