I often wonder how people make it through the hard times in life without God. Right now, my dear friend Deb is going through a difficult transit time, her mother-in-law needs some type of assisted living arrangements, and life is difficult at home and with her job (isn't it always that way with a job!). I ponder my own weeds - difficult health issues and family struggles. How do people get through it without faith??? For me, without my faith, I would just give it all up and find a well supplied syphon of alcohol and drink my pain away - why else would I want to go on, try, or care? Life would make no sense. But, for my faith, I know life is not always the prime piece of real estate we all want. I know there are going to be weeds, many of them, but I know, with my faith, I can pluck through the weeds and find myself right back at the beautiful beginning, my God, my faith, the savior of my soul!
