I’m sorry, Derb, if you find my doubts unconvincing. But then I don’t have them for your benefit. As for the priest in that story, I suspect he was trying to make sense out of the tragedy, trying to figure out why the heck he of all of them survived. Is he right? God — pun intended — only knows.(God bless him — I can’t imagine.)

And, Heaven knows, if I’m holding all the answers, it’s still a mystery to me.
