What Matters? What really matters? What matters today and right now, can change in an instant. No matter how hard you try to live a good life, follow your conscience and consistently do the right thing, bad things happen to good people. We have personal failures, relationships implode, people get sick, suffer and die, people die tragically, accidents happen, disabilities exist, people disappoint us, hearts get broken, jobs are lost, finances go to ruin, foreclosures run a muck, the list goes on and on. WHY? WHY DO BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE?Life can be trudging along of so happily and then in an instant the life that you knew and embraced ceases to exist. My first taste of this was when my grandfather died. I was twenty-three at the time and it was the biggest loss of my life. Little did I know at the time that it was nothing in comparison to what would follow about 18 months later, a few days after my wedding shower, when my Dad went to sleep and never woke up. The shock was so horrifying
