My belief has always been that He's left it to us  to decide what we do with our lives and how we want to live.  If we  need help, we ask.  If we have faith we get our answers or the help we  need.  If we get greedy, or take the wrong path, then it's our own  choice too.  I still believe that's the way it works.  How short our  lives, where the road takes us or how long we live, that's our  destiny...
