SUDDENLY

James said, “You’re nothing but a wisp of fog, catching a brief bit of sun before disappearing.” Rarely is it a “wisp of fog” around here. More often it is a blast of sand. And it comes from out of “nowhere.” It comes quickly and it disappears quickly, but not quietly.

Life is a lot like that. James said we need to realize that “stuff” comes when we least expect it and that we need to “hang loose” and hang with God.

Last night I was watching the Diamondbacks and minding my own business when the sky got dark, the wind started to blow; the dust became so thick you couldn’t see across the street, drops of rain turned into mud balls and then a gentle rain washed the sky clear and I went back to watching the Diamondbacks. But there was a mess left behind that I hadn’t planned for.

Yea—that’s life!
