KEITH LEE THANKING GOD BECAUSE HE SURVIVED A CRASH (but someone else unalived) I JUST WATCHED A VIDEO OF KEEFLY. BASICALLY, I'M A CHRISTIAN, OFF WITH THAT. GOD, I'M A CHILD OF GOD. I JUST WATCHED VIDEO ABOUT HOW BASICALLY HE WAS NEARLY IN A CRASH AND HE WAS THANKING GOD. AND GOD IS SO AMAZING HE SAVED HIM, BUT ONE PERSON CAME OUT UNALIVE THAN WHATEVER, BUT THANK GOD GOD SAVED HIM AMAZING. YOU KNOW, A POINT IN YOUR CHRISTIAN JOURNEY WHERE YOU ACTUALLY START TO REALLY DEEP AND THINK ABOUT THE THINGS THAT YOU'RE SAYING BECAUSE WAS GOD. WAS GOD ALSO AMAZING WHEN SOMEBODY ELSE UN ALIVE BECAUSE OF THE SITUATION? AND NOW THERE'S FAMILY MOURNING THE LOSS OF SOMEBODY, OTHER PEOPLE ALSO VERY MUCH INJURED? WAS GOD STILL AMAZING WHEN THAT HAPPENED? WAS GOD STILL GOOD WHEN THAT HAPPENED? AND FOR ME, GONNA COME AND I DON'T THINK GOD IS GOOD, LIKE I'VE STOPPED. SORRY GUYS, I CAUSE I JUST STILL DO THIS. BUT I JUST FEEL LIKE LET'S USE OUR COMMON SENSE. BE A CHRISTIAN AND HAVE COMMON HAVE EMOTIONAL TACT. LIKE IF I KNOW ANOTHER FAMILY IS ABOUT TO GRIEVE SOME CRAZY ASS, I'M NOT NOW OH YEAH, BUT MY GOD DONE THIS FOR ME, THEY SERVE THE SAME GOD AS ME. IS THEIR STORY.

Hmmmnn idk man. P.s. I have noooo issues with Keith Lee. I think he’s great and I’m happy he’s still alive but it really has me pondering on how we as Christian’s speak in times like this. But then also, biblically, is he wrong ??? Because we have to give thanks in all things right ??? Ahhh… this is the stuff that makes me think all night lol …
