Swallowed by Life:

People have been fascinated by the story of Jeff Bush.  He went to bed in his Florida home, just like people do all around the world.  There was the sound of things crashing and breaking, then Jeff's brother, Jeremy, heard his brother yell.  He rushed in to investigate. 

"Everything was gone. My brother's bed, my brother's dresser, my brother's TV. My brother was gone."

A huge sinkhole had opened up under Jeff's bedroom.  It sounds a lot like the story of Korah, Dathan and Abiram in Numbers  16, here.  At least in the Biblical account we can clearly see God's hand.  He did this because. . . .

The kind of relationship with God described in the Bible does not describe a life with a no-sink-hole guarantee.  It does point us to a Savior Who overcame life and does and will rescue us.

 It's STTA.
