This was the title of a featured book given to me at a speaking engagement in Texas – and I found much wisdom in that book! There were many Texas sayings with hidden advice found on the pages of that book.

Surely somebody somewhere has an answer as to what is going to happen next. There must be a grand conclusion on the way or at least some kind of a clue as to what we can expect around the next bend! If only we had a few answers.

Grief is an emotion that can only truly occur when we have loved. The deeper we loved, the deeper our grief. If we were indifferent or didn’t really know the person who dies, we may have sympathy, but grief is reserved for the one we truly loved.

When we have formed our own opinions or thoughts on how much God controls, we have to first ask if we do or do not believe in God. If we say that we do, we answer one way. If we don’t, we answer another way. The question is, “Who wins?”

Whether you have heard this song about Heaven or not, none of us really know what Heaven will be like. Many aren’t sure there really is a Heaven, and especially don’t believe you can know you are going there! But there is so much in scripture about it.

If you were in the middle of a horrible dilemma and thought you were surely doomed, and then someone gave you a secret weapon, wouldn’t it be a shame to not use it? Would you just toss it aside because you didn’t know if it would work or not?

An old adage from Robert Burns is “the best made plans of mice and men often go awry.” The Bible puts it, “man may plan his way but God directs his steps.” I had a birthday this past week, and it was NOT what we had planned, but it was in other ways even better!
