Worst Nightmare – Captive

Worst Nightmare?
Worst Nightmare?

Imagine two great friends. Best buds for as long as they can remember, having a great time on vacation, or maybe a mission trip, or simply having dinner during a routine international business meeting.

And suddenly…

Captive.

A situation few of us can even comprehend.

And to make it worse, the captors announce an ultimatum.

Both good friends must decide. Only one decision needs to be made.

But both will have to decide….

Others May, You May Not

Are there activities, harmless on the surface, that others may do, but you may not?

There are, even if you can’t recognize them.

Tonight, there’s a get together of old friends, celebrating a recent wedding.

It’s BYOB, and some will drink adult beverages and loosen up their inhibitions and enjoy the buzz that alcohol so reliably brings.

Which always reminds me of one of life’s greatest lessons: Others may, you may not.

How’s your Spirit?

Do you ever feel like God is unfair?

This is called doubt. And as your Spirit grows, you allow less room for doubt. Less room for fear.

And it’s like exercise or money, it requires disciplined effort to be in sound physical, financial and spiritual shape.

The past few nights I’ve been working out Spiritually. How? By listening to Steven Curtis Chapman’s newest CD, Beauty Will Rise.

Try to imagine your worst nightmare. And then try to imagine God not being interested or caring.
