Thomas Jeffrey Hanks, an actor and filmmaker,  has become one of the most popular figures in the film industry. Movies staring Hanks have grossed nearly $10 billion globally,  making Tom  the fourth-highest-grossing actor in North America.  Tom, along with his wife Rita, both put their hopes in Jesus and often pray together, encouraging others to do the same.  Tom admits that there are unknowns and mysteries in our Christian Faith when his said:   "I must say that when I go to church "“ and I do go to church "“ I ponder the mystery," ... "I meditate on the, "˜why?' of "Why people are as they are,' and ˜Why bad things happen to good people,' and "Why good things happen to bad people."¦ The mystery is what I think is, almost, the grand unifying theory of all mankind."  Is it possible to be a  Christian and not have all the answers?
