My tendency to question has often rubbed people the wrong way. It took a long time in my current job to get passed the label of trouble maker because when management told us we had to do something, I'd ask.."Why?" I wasn't being insubordinate, I just do things better when I understand WHY I am doing them.
Like when you are a kid, "Why Why Why." The answer I hate most, "Because I told you to," or "Because I'm the Mom and I said so." OK but WHY did you say so?
I totally want to be on board with whatever the "right" thing to do is, but if I can't understand the reasoning behind it, well..it's very difficult for me.
There a ton of questions I want to ask Jesus when I get to heaven. Like....

* How did you "escape" the market without anyone seeing where you went? Did you use super powers or something?

* What were you really drawing in the sand when the adulterous woman was about to be stoned?

*Didn't you just want to crack up at the guys tearing a hole in the roof to lower their friend down in front of your face?

*Can I see the chariot of fire that you took Elijah up in?

*What's the funniest joke you ever heard? (OK I guess he created it...)

*Speaking of creation..What were you thinking with the mosquito???

*What is generational sin? Could I have done anything about it?


There are tons more that as I go about my day thinking, I mentally note that I'll find out someday.
Do you have any questions you just wish you knew the answer to? If you could sit and talk with Jesus, what would you ask?
