Have you ever asked the question, “Why me?”  We don’t tend to ask this when we receive something we want.  When we get something good, we think, “Why not me?”  But when things go bad, one of the first questions we tend to ask is: “Why is this happening to me?”

Perhaps you’re in a tough situation right now and are asking this very question.  Or you may know someone who’s asking this question.  Maybe you’ve just watched a movie where the main character asks the question: like Thomas Anderson (aka - Neo) in the first Matrix movie; or Bruce Wayne in Batman Begins.

What would God say to Batman?  With “The Dark Knight” setting movie records and stimulating conversation around the country and the world, I decided to publish this piece I wrote about eight years ago, but updated a few weeks ago. I also drew the picture below for visual “eye candy.” Let me know what you think.

What Would God Say to Batman?

I was there at your birth… Bruce. I watched you grow. I saw your fears as well as your strengths. I knew who your parents would be and gave you Alfred, knowing he would be loyal and supportive of you to the very end.
