As for the film - I read the explanation blurb (we only have dial-up so watching the film is not happening) and I agree that God is always near in the midst of difficult and painful times. I don't think He causes these times - goes with my conviction of a HP as a loving God who does not physically intervene - but I know that in the midst of these times, I hear His voice more clearly. Maybe I listen harder because I need to more.
