Life goes on

It's not my normal to post one day after another, but here it goes.

When I went out to get my newspaper at 4:45 AM today, (yup, still an early riser) I saw the moon in it's glory.  As I look outside at 4:00 PM I see rain dripping off the roof.

So where does this put me, or us in the world of struggle.  Be it corona virus or major surgeries it doesn't matter.

I remember when I was a young man (ancient history :-) ) sitting on a bluff waiting for an unlucky deer to wander by and put himself into my gun sights.  I saw birds flying, and squirrels running around.  This was during the Viet Nam war.  I remembered how in spite of the mess we were in, God took care of what he created.  The birds still flew, and the squirrels still scampered.  I'll never forget that.

The reason I reflected on that time, is that I realize that no matter what I, or the world faces right now, look at the birds, listen to them sing, watch them build their nests, watch the squirrels scamper.  There is a book written by Mac Lucado titled you'll get through this.

I realize that my journey is mapped by the Driver, not by what I expected from my "trip".  He is in charge!
