A man goes into a barber shop to get his hair cut. While cutting his hair the barber says to the man, I don't believe there is a God or he wouldn't let all this bad stuff happen in this world. The man doesn't reply because he doesn't want to start a confrontation. However, he feels that somehow he needs to explain to the barber that God is not happy with this kind of stuff either.

After his haircut, he pays and walks out the door. On the sidewalk coming across the street from the barber shop is a man with long dirty stringy hair walking down the sidewalk. The man obviously has not had a shower in a long time. The man leaving the barber shop walks back in and said to the barber, "there must not be barbers in this world," "How can you say that?" asks the barber. "Well look at that dirty man with his long stringy dirty hair. If there were barbers in this world, surely they would not let that happen. They would offer to cut his hair and clean him up, right?" The barber replied "I can not help him if he doesn't come to me for help".

It is basically the same with God. He did give us Free will and we choose if we want to accept him and his help or not. He is just as unhappy about the lady crushing her son's skull as we are. Perhaps if the lady had asked God for strength, he would of provided it. Instead she chose to ignore him and his willingness to help. The babies skull being crushed was the result. It is sad on two points... 1. People do ignore God's willingness to be a part of their lives and 2. People choose to do evil things.

I pray that the child will not suffer any permanent damage and that someone loving comes into his life to care for him.
