Only
One Sane Choice!
Joshua
1: 9
Have
I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be
discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you
go.
It’s
been a rough year for me. Last May I was
diagnosed with bilateral brain tumors called schwannomas. They are benign but
still require treatment, which will last for at least another year. Between the
tumors and the treatment, I haven’t felt well for the past six months, have
partial facial paralysis on both sides as well as hearing loss.
The
reality is we’re still going through the crises and we don’t know what the
future holds. Things are getting better and God is working in our lives, but we
still don’t know and won’t know the outcome of all my health “issues” for quite
some time.
But
guess what?
You
don’t know what the future holds either.
You may think you do. You may have all sorts of activities, goals, plans
and strategies in place for the next year or even five
years.
The
truth is none of us know what will happen in the next minute, hour, day, week,
or ……well, you get the idea.
When
faced with that truth, there really is only one sane choice.
TRUST
GOD.
Trusting
God is the only reasonable choice in an unreasonable world.
God
will bring a supernatural peace and joy that confuses the world. We don’t have
to understand everything. We don’t have to know the future. All we really need
to know is that God loves us and will be with us wherever we go.
Trusting
God really is the only sane choice!

DECEPTION:
Twins
are supposed to have an unbreakable bond, but Patti and Jamie have serious
relationship issues. They haven’t spoken since Jamie ruined Patti’s upcoming
nuptials years ago.
When
a niece she knows nothing about telephones, Patti must unravel the yarn of
Jamie’s life and her mysterious disappearance.
Detective
Carter Caldwell takes his job seriously, and it's his job to keep Patti and her
niece safe. But Patti is determined to help find her sister.
As
the investigation grows more dangerous, Carter begrudgingly admits the safest
place for Patti is at his side. Each step in their journey leads them closer to
the truth but pulls them further down a road filled with danger and deception,
where each will battle for survival and the lives of countless
Americans.
