Why God? I don't understand why you're doing this? 

Have you ever cried out to God with a prayer like this? Last time we talked with Carol Kent about that horrifying day she got the unthinkable news that her son was being arrested for first degree murder. We talked about, "When God Says You Must Lay Down Your Isaac," and compared Carol's experience to Abraham's—when he was asked to lay Isaac on the altar. 

 This time, we'll pick up the both Carol's story and Abraham's and talk about when we don't understand why.
