Are you a planner? Remember how people prepared for Y2K, the beginning of the millennium year 2000. Computers had been representing the year with only two digits instead of four digits which could cause the computer systems to interpret 00 as 1900 instead of 2000. This would mess up all major industries including utilities, banking, manufacturing, telecom, and airlines. While companies spent billions of dollars preparing their systems, some people built shelters and others stocked imperishable food items, plus batteries and oil for lamps, and other things considered essential for survival.
There is nothing that makes us get in a bigger hurry than when trouble gets on our trail. Trouble has a way of making us freak out. Trouble can even make us give up on life. That’s one of the reasons Satan uses trouble to break us down.
I’m trying to get you to see that trouble has a way of finding us but GOD has a way of redeeming us. Trouble has a way of trapping us but GOD has a way of the saving us. You can run but you can’t hide from trouble. It has your name. Trouble has your number.

Deluded though I am, I fancy myself a master at concealing my imperfections to achieve the illusion that I’ve got my act together. Ha. Like people don’t know I draw on my eyebrows every morning before I go out to pick up the paper.
Sometimes my efforts at innocent subterfuge come back to bite me. I had a leak in my refrigerator which caused an angry dark stain on my hardwood floor about five inches long and two inches wide. I called Mr. Fixit guy and he came out and “fixed it.” To hide the stain I bought an attractive rug runner and placed it over the imperfection. Problem solved, sort of.

The Men’s Fifth Sunday Bible Class honored the late Norman Armstrong at the Bryan Public Library Friday afternoon. Men from the First Christian, First Presbyterian, First Methodist and First Episcopal Churches meet together on the fifth Sunday to study God’s word. The group began over 60 years ago. They have formed a benevolent society of which Armstrong was the treasurer. He was diligent in being a good steward and making sure that the gift was going to someone who was truly suffering a hardship. He is deeply mourned and missed by the West Point Community.
