Alan, I would hope that God wants me where I am.  For what reason
I'm not exactly sure, but I have some god ideas.  Dosen't really
matter because I trust Him to know why.  To say that He doesn't
want me where I am implies that He is not in control of my life as
I have trusted him to be.

After all, he loved his only son Jesus and look what he allowed Him
to go through.  Do I really have anything to complain about?
