Part of God's plan?

I read Larry Lautaret’s letter (Whitefish Pilot, Sept. 19, “Forest Service decision to deny air drop hinders recovery effort”) and finished with great reserve.

It started as a beautiful story and I would have found great peace and admiration with that. However, the blemish of the blame-game seemed overly self-absorbed and not in character with understanding that we do not know the ways of God.

Does shifting anger at the difficulty of the situation and the amazing fortitude of those who partook in it toward the “Government” serve much purpose other than to dilute what those involved did? Does it not enter your mind that perhaps this, too, was part of God’s plan?  

Thank you all for those amazing efforts; we are certainly impressed. You took responsibility for assisting in a great effort. I beseech you to leave it at that.
