Glad to hear you pronounce the "ch" the 'right' way. ;) About suffering...I think you're right. We know that He knows us deeply and ordains all of our days. Whether or not He directly sends suffering is beside the point. What isn't beside the point (which means it is the point :) ) is that God allows all things to happen, and He has promised to never leave or forsake. Put concisely, the origins of suffering matter much less than our response. And there's no better response than that which you have offered.

Oh, well. Simple often takes us far. And as long as you know that He is good, wonderfully good, you will be okay.
