why me? Does God care?

Of course the obvious answer is 'why not me?'. The facts of suffering and a loving God seem powerful contradictions and every thinking person must have thought these thoughts. At the time of the Asian tsunami I wrote this article for a Christian website. The Haiti earthquake has prompted me to reissue the piece. And what is true of the greater is often true of the lesser so I will give the same answer to my small scale suffering as for the big picture. You can find it on The Biblebase Second Thoughts Blog entitled 'Tsunamis, earthquakes, genocide and the love of God'. Tell me what you think.
