Today, I go get the staples out. All the way to chapel hill. I think by now Willard must know every crack in the road. It does look as if by now, I'd know how to get there, but alas, I've got as much since in direction as a beached whale.

This is just another experience in life. Never had staples, never had staples taken out.

We never know what may be around the corner for us, or behind the closed door we're about to open. Life has a tendency to change things as we know them. I've heard that people don't change. Well I beg to differ. I'm not the same person I was when I was in my twenties and thank God for it. Neither am I the same person I was at thirty, forty or even fifty. People change! Circumstances can change a person. How you are changed, I think depends on whether or not you know Christ. People without Christ go around when trouble strikes blaming God, and anyone else they can find. While people who are serving the Lord, know that it rains on Christians as well as non-Christians. Matthew 5:45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

We put our trust in the Lord, because we know that Jesus has us in His loving care. There is nothing that we as Christians can't handle, because Jesus is right here for us.

All the not so great things that pop up in our lives, are God's way of testing us and refining us. Making us stronger and stronger in faith. As the song goes, Only believe.

Until next time God bless.
