lmost 20 years ago Randy Limbird started publishing the El Paso Scene. The first few issues Randy did everything. He sold ads, built ads, gathered event information, wrote articles, laid out the paper by cutting and pasting, delivered it to the printer and the next day went out and distributed it. Those issues were 16 pages, had a handful of advertisers and listed around 100 events. The 10,000 copies were delivered mostly in West El Paso. Today the Scene averages 60 pages, with over 100 advertisers, every month lists 600-800 events and the 41,000 copies are distributed from Las Cruces to Horizon City. While advances in technology has made publishing easier, it still amazes people that, with all this tremendous growth, the Scene has only grown from one person to three who work throughout the month. Randy still does a little of everything, Lisa Tate writes the feature article and updates event listings and I take care of Advertising Sales and Distribution. Others help out with column writing, proof-reading and distribution. Last month, two days before publishing the May issue, I was involved in a Scooter versus Pick-up accident that sent me to the hospital for four days. At that point I still had customers to contact, ads to build and distribution to arrange. Thanks to the pain-relieving morphine, I have only vague memories of those four days. I do remember talking to Randy but I don't know what was said or arranged. Fortunately, Randy can revert to do-it-all mode. He got my files, got all my ads done, added a late call-in ad, arranged for distribution, and did my customer billing. He was also observant enough to know my recovery would take much longer than I was forecasting and took over refill distribution. Normally Randy takes care of re-filling locations on the west side of El Paso and I take care of the rest of the city. Re-filling racks is time-consuming and takes me six to eight hours a week. Randy did it for me starting from the far West Side of El Paso and covering locations in the far East Side that he had never been to. All that while still taking

care of the West Side. I was very fortunate to have had many customers, friends, and neighbors call and visit me in the hospital and home and offer their support and help. I hope to find a special way to thank them all. For Randy, my writing of this column is a small thank you card that eliminates one job of the hundreds and hundreds he does every month to give all of us the El Paso Scene. Also thank you for the “Get Well” bottle of tequila. — Albert Martinez *** Editor’s note: Albert is mostly recovered, except for a stiff shoulder and a scooter damaged beyond repair. In over 12 years working with the Scene, this was the first time he had to take off work due to illness or injury. Filling in for Albert renewed my knowledge of the East Side, Horizon City and Lower Valley. It’s hard to believe how much has changed since we first began publishing the Scene in 1993. George Dieter was pretty much the edge of town back then. Now the new East Side sprawls past Loop 375 and Zaragoza. *** This month’s cover is another of the Cover Award winners from last November’s “El Paso Scenes” exhibit. Don Beene’s “Promise of Rain” is particularly appropriate for this time of year, when El Paso is thirsty for thunderstorms to relieve our drought. — Randy Limbird

nterviewing a young mother who had run to safety with her toddler son just seconds before a tornado demolished their Oklahoma home, CNN Anchor Wolf Blitzer asked the woman “"You've gotta thank the Lord, right? Do you thank the Lord for that split-second decision?” “I'm actually an atheist,” the woman sputtered in reply, leaving Blitzer himself fumbling for a follow-up question. That awkward exchange led to considerable commentary on various blogs, with many posts congratulating the woman for her non-religious convictions. It also triggered renewed debate over various long-discussed theological issues. Does God really decide who lives and dies in a natural disaster? Or for that matter, does He decide who survives and who doesn’t from any lifethreatening situation, whether disease, accident or other calamity? If someone thanks God for a seemingly miraculous rescue or recovery, does that imply that God chose not to save others? If God is not able or willing to save everyone, how do believers reconcile that with the traditional belief in an allpowerful, all-merciful God? I have to admit that I often wince when I hear people thank God for answering their prayers as if they had been rewarded for their faith. How many others prayed just as faithfully and did not receive what they hoped for? It can also be disturbing to hear someone thank God for protecting them from harm and granting prosperity when others around them have lost family members and suffered financial ruin. We have to be careful not to cross the line from gratitude to thoughtless pride. We should be mindful that whatever blessings we receive may have little to do with our own merit. The deeper question that is raised after a major disaster like the tornados that swept through Texas and Oklahoma (which, however tragic, pale in comparison to the havoc and suffering caused by earthquakes and tsunamis in other parts of the world) is why does God let this

happen? After centuries of theologians and philosophers arguing over this point, there’s not much I could say in this brief column that would advance the discussion. But there is one question that always nags at me when I hear someone ask how a loving God can tolerate suffering. What world could God have created that would prevent it? Scientists tell us that life on earth is based on a narrow range of conditions. Change a few degrees of temperature and the composition of the atmosphere, and life as we know it doesn’t stand a chance. Earthquakes, tsunamis, tornados and hurricanes are all tied to the same global environment that gives us life. A world without potential threat to human life might not a world at all, at least not one that could support us. A similar case could be made regarding human evil. Could God have created us without the potential for evil? Would that be a life worth living? To blame God for allowing suffering may be the same as blaming Him for creating life at all. Of course, we can also blame God for not intervening countless times every day around the world to prevent the consequences of disaster and cruelty. If we think about, that’s really asking that God’s creation be nothing more than a cosmic marionette show in which He is constantly pulling the strings. I believe miracles do happen, but I don’t believe God intervenes in our world simply to patch things up. Miracles are not a way of fixing what’s wrong with the world, but reminding us that there is more than just this world.
