1-Well I haven't really had a huge amount of bad, but yes some things have been. However I have yet to run into a "bad" event that didn't lead to something fortuitous, typically with direct links to God. For one example, I lost my wallet one day a few years ago. It had my Social security card and some other really key things in it. I was cancelling things and all that rucous, really quite pissed about it. 4 days later the person who found it drove it by my house while I was on the way to dinner with the pastor of another church. I invited him to dinner to repay him for the kindness and he ended up going to that church of the other pastor after a long dinner convo.. The money for the dinner was the exact contents of the wallet plus a little left for tip.
2-Actually yes he has filled my cabinets with food. He's also clothed me. He has spoken to me to tell me to go places or talk to people I wouldn't normally do or go. He's helped me find the words to speak when I have none. He's healed me and those I love. Doctors also do theese things as does grocery stores and jobs. But where those fail he doesn't.

Well I would say it is a God of the Gaps arguement. I'm not saying though that God only operates in the gaps left by science. God is immanent and works in all ways so maybe it's a God of all, including the gaps arguement ?
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
