Is there a "Plan"?

Makes you wonder, who are they playing against?

I try not to nit pick about other people's beliefs, but I was thinking last night while responding to the PBP topic I chose to start out with.  The question was, "What makes you a pagan?" and among those answers I provided, I included that I believe that we make our own fate, and that nothing is predetermined.

I remember often times being told, "God has a plan for us/you," "It's not what God wanted," and my personal favorite, "Don't worry, it's all part of God's plan."

Based on my own personal beliefs (which are, to say, the ones that feel the most 'right' to me, but may not necessarily be what someone else believes), the idea of God and Goddess having a plan for me kind of makes me giggle.  To me, God and Goddess are always there, whether we choose to interact with them or not.  It is I who choose what I do, and to think any different would send me into a spiraling depression (is that just me, or would others do the same?).

That all being said, I took the liberty of re-versing myself on what the Bible says God's plan is for us.  In the process, I discovered this website, which outlines the general idea fairly clearly.  Some lines may be an actual quote from the page, so be sure to drop by and make sure I didn't miss anything important.

Lengthy, read on if you wish.
