We grew old together, Mike Brown and I. Of course, I was 15 years his senior when I hired him in 1974, so I grew really old. I’ve seen his full head of dark, curly hair gradually add salt and finally turn white. My eternal flattop just sheds a lot, taking root in my ears. So it goes.
As Christians, we are called to trust in God every day, but putting your total trust in Him can be hard some days. We are continually battling our fears, worries, and anxieties. The more we worry, the more it can hurt our physical, mental and emotional health.
It’s an old youth pastor illustration but it is true and it’s good. What you do is you take a tube of toothpaste and you squirt some toothpaste on a plate and then you ask people to put the toothpaste back into the tube. You really can’t do it is the point, and so it is with our words, right?
I’ve got a friend who I love a lot and he told me the other day that most of his life he has felt like the third monkey trying to get on the Ark. I relate to that struggle.
