I believe that when we walk through a storm it’s God at work calling us to Him. I believe Floods, Tornados  and Hurricanes are each one a personal call from Heaven. I believe they are ‘Highest Court’ decisions of Judgement. I believe the problems the jewish nation has with other countries is simply a continuation of God’s invitation to His ‘favorite’ nation to come to Him through Jesus Christ. I do not believe there will ever be peace in the ‘Middle East’. I believe every bump in our road of life is a private invitation for a one-on-one chat. I believe we are making God angry and only His Love for mankind is holding his hand. I believe there will never be a time when there is no pain in the world. I believe this with all my heart. But, I believe there is only one way to overcome all this difficulty and that is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Stiff necked folks will never understand what I believe, but that doesn’t stop me from praying for each one. I am never alone, Never! I can sing This great old hymn with total Faith that it is true – “When the storms of life are raging, stand by me. Whenpains of life assail and my strength begins to fail, Thou who never lost a battle, Stand by Me.  And, that’s what I get from MY box of chocolates.   AMEN
