Alan,

You have to trust that nothing happens that isn't God's will. Sometimes, we're lucky enough at some point in our lives to figure out why certain things happen. But mostly, we never know.

Without going into long detail, there have been a couple of times in my life when something happened that suddenly made me understand the purpose of why a number of things in my past had happened. There were things that each of those experiences had taught me. I don't mean that in a way like you or I had done anything wrong, just that what happened taught me something.

BTW, we had apparently JUST left WOH at time of the accident. We were eating dinner awhile later when a friend called, saying he'd heard something about a plane down. Although I did not know Bill Johnson, I do know most everyone else on that flight. So, those were some tense moments, before we found out what had happened. Although we were relieved to find that it wasn't someone we know personally, it was still a member of the warbird community that was a friend we just hadn't had the opportunity to meet yet.

I hope this helps a tiny bit,
Blake
