Tender Mercies...

Is the Lord in the details of our lives? Does he carefully watch over our every move? Should we pray when choosing the type of Peanut Butter? Should we thank him when we catch the subway train or when we find our keys or baseball glove or make a shot in basketball (Bri your kids have serious skills though)?

Maybe he doesnt watch our every move, but other angels do? I dont think he is as hands on as we sometimes think. Although I do believe there are tender mercies, it seems like he lets us live. Just like the temple video, he is up there, and occasionally checks in on us. ;)

If he is watching over our every move, is our agency impaired? Does he let us make mistakes and learn and grow? And if he is always there helping, why doesnt he help sometimes? This brings up another interesting dilemma that bothered Ben Franklin, if God knows everything, is our agency in some way impaired? If he knows what we will do, and is all powerful, and can stop things, why doesn't he? Why does he in some cases? And lastly is it morally wrong for God to not act/get involved when he knows someone is going off the path? Would Judas Iscariot have been better not being chosen as a disciple? Who knows.... I guess God. ;)
