Too Tired to Blog

True confession time: I didn't get around to thinking about this blog post until after 10PM last night. I started with a topic - but it didn't flow - and I began to get frustrated. Steve offered to try to do an imitation of my writing style. This required some work, since his blog (epcblog) is very different in topic and tone than CandyceLand. SO... what do you think of his first effort to be me?

"What is crooked cannot be made straight..." Ecclesiastes 1:15

To borrow a line from the inspirational sports movie Rudy: "There is a God, and I'm not Him."

There are so many things that only God can fix. When we have done all that can be done, being anxious or making a desperate decision out of panic will not normally make everything alright. If we truly have done all that we can reasonably do in addressing some problem that is really beyond us, what choice do we have but to trust God?

He is faithful. That means that we can enjoy a meal in peace if we have something to eat, and we can even have a good night's sleep if the Lord has given us a place to rest.

I guess it just takes some good spiritual thinking for us to remember that worrying cannot fix things that are broken. As Jesus said in the Sermon on the Mount, "Do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."

Hmmm... Not too shabby. Maybe he should give up his day job and start StephenLand. :-)
