THE CHURCH SIGN

The church down the road announces their sermon titles on the sign out front. The title for this Sunday morning is listed as "God is Good - All the Time" . . .

Perhaps it is my somewhat cynical nature but there are times when I have a problem with that statement or at least a problem knowing how to remember that sentiment when everything around me seems to be falling down.

So, how can you remember that 'God is Good' when:

* You have a career that you Love but a job that you Hate

* You have boss that is constantly trying to get you fired and fabricating 'evidence' to do it.

* You barely make enough money to pay the regular bills but not quite enough money to buy food and other household necessities.

* You are 40ish and still relying on your parents to help 'fix' things.

* Every time things start to look up - the rug gets ripped out and there is a sinkhole underneath it . . . or the light at the end of the tunnel really is a train.

* Your parents are getting older and you worry about them because they worry about you

There is a lot more but these are the things I'm currently stuck on . . .

But these are the times I question the statement - God is good - all the time - - Really???

Not "spiritually correct" but absolutely honest!
