Priorities and Prayers

Have you ever slipped into the “grass is greener” mindset? You start thinking: “If only my parents would give me the keys to the car.” “If only I was married.” “If only I lived someplace warmer and sunnier!”

Tempted and Tried

“Don’t bring a knife to a gun fight.” So states the Proverb. We see that Proverb writ large in the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark. Indiana Jones races through a middle eastern village, but then a sword master confronts him. What’s Indiana going to do? How could he possibly defeat this sword wielding foe? Indiana pulls out his gone and shoots. Fight over.

Certainty

A few years ago I purchased some pants. But these weren’t just any pants. A new company made these pants and included them in their “Quarter Century” collection. The company guaranteed the pants would last 25 years! AND if something happened to them, the company would repair them for free. I was set.

Stand Firm

Our world is unstable. The news recounts devastating earthquakes, political unrest, and deadly diseases. We feel afraid. We worry. We don’t know what tomorrow might bring.
