A Handful

by Larry Smith

The world faces a caldron of tangled issues. I took this pic recently and see a right hand in this cloud formation, holding a measure of burning glory. Perhaps it could be an appropriate symbol of God reaching down to fulfill a promise in our time of need.

I keep hearing spokespersons appropriately encouraging us to stick together... “We will get through this.” That’s good, but insufficient. We cannot pull ourselves up by our own bootstraps. Let’s also rely on the promises of God, and peacefully, confidently trust Him. This of course assumes we know, and have a relationship with Him already. If you don’t, it’s never too late. Go for it and remember, ‘By their fruits you will know them’.

There’s a lot of fear-based shepherds out there pushing fake news, not good news, although claiming it to be. The only essentials are knee pads, scripture and time. Be a seeker of truth. This is a journey where good teachers, guides and friends are wonderful accessories, but you must do your homework and knee-work. Just sayin’ and prayin’. Be blessed, my friend.
