FUSSING
A Russian comedian, newly arrived in the US, noted that we complain about the weather, the government, the roads, our jobs, our families, our food, then we call it HAPPY HOUR! God’s opinion on food-fussing may be found in his response to the Israelites in the wilderness, “manna manna manna” they complained. God was providing around 2 […]

CONCERN FOR TOMORROW
Today someone responded to God’s command to take NO thought for tomorrow by saying. Isn’t it right to be concerned for the future, maybe not for ourselves but certainly for our children and grandchildren?

Two men leave the same housing development, drive through the same traffic to the same job at the same time. The only difference is Mr. A expects people to drive properly .Mr B expects people to drive poorly, unaware of those around them and being rude and careless. NOW which one A or B arrives […]
I know that going round and round in my head on negatives eats up all my energy and leaves me depressed. Still, I keep finding myself doing it again. I yell at myself for doing it again, hoping that this would get me to quit, but it is like fighting quicksand, and only makes bad […]
I knew two mothers. One quoted her daughter as saying, “My mother MAKES me do the dishes.” The second mother quoted her daughter as saying, “My mother LETS me do the dishes.” God wants me to delight in the mundane and routine. Like any good parent, if I whine about being bored, he suggests “go clean your […]
