Big Faith

I like King of the Hill. Yeah, I know, it's not the best show to watch, and it isn't the most politically correct show at times. I just like the characters and the overt patriotism. There's just something in me that is drawn to supporting my country.

Anyway, in one particular episode of King of the Hill, Boomhauer's brother, Patch, is engaged to marry a former flame of Boomhauer's. Yet, Patch is still trying to live the bachelor's life while just days away from getting married. Boomhauer calls his brother on this and all the others think that Boomhauer's dressing his brother down stems from jealousy about his brother marrying an old flame. Needless to say, in the end, the truth is found out, and the marriage is called off.

I said all that to say that there is a scene in that particular episode when Hank tells Boomhauer, "Well, Boomhauer, you used to always beat your brother at everything, but this time it looks like he's going to be you to getting married." As Boomhauer is walking away, he tells Hank, "Dang ol' life ain't no dang ol' race, man, talkin' bout dang journey man."

Today's word is a simple quote that says, "Let your FAITH be bigger than your Fears."

We never know what life is going to present us. We can be walking along thinking that everything is going just lovely and the next thing you know, a passing vehicle hits a puddle and covers us with mud. That doesn't mean that life is bad, it just simply means that our journey will have some mud puddles. Yet, if we wallow in that moment, the depth of that moment, the displeasure of that moment, we begin to think that life is bad and that it is always bad and that it will always be bad. We have to have faith that it will be better - BECAUSE IT WILL!

Don't let your fears overrule your faith. Don't let your fears steal tomorrow's joy. Let your FAITH be bigger than your Fears! Life isn't a race, it's not about today, it is the culmination of a lifetime. Live FAITHFULLY!

Be Blessed,
