Ripe, Rotten, Ripe

I’ve often noticed as a follower of Christ that bad things happen to good people. No kidding. I’ve always had the notion that there must be something in the bible that could answer this unsolved question. Then I happened to get this quote in an e-mail the other day:

“He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful” (John 15:2)

Clears up a lot, doesn’t it?
