Of Elections And Our Own Lives

Life has a way of reprioritizing things for us.

Let some thing or things get out of focus/control and life will spin you around in a hurry. And if you ignore the early warning signs…well, life has a way of bringing everything to an abrupt stop.

We have all been there, right?

We are cruising along thinking things are all good and we wake up one morning to a surprise.

Oops.

And so we reshuffle our deck (Read: priorities) and take another shot at life.

I think we all need and get those reminders from time to time.

I remember Job.

“The Lord gives and the Lord takes away, Blessed be the name of the Lord.”

And so we do the best we can. Work like it all depends on us and pray like it all depends on God and muddle our way through.

Never forgetting that we are strangers and pilgrims.
