A Lesson Learned From A Bug

I pulled out of my driveway heading for my mom's and noticed a
katydid on my windshield. This is rare for the area I live in
since it is more city than farm or wooded area. For those of
you who do not know what a katydid is, it is similar to a
grasshopper. It is green but has a flat (up-down) body
whereas the grasshopper has a round body and is more brown
colored.

As I accelerated, I noticed the wind was making his body flutter,
but the legs were securely attached to the windshield. I was
sure he would lose his battle to the wind, but he kept hanging
on body fluttering in the wind. He did this for a couple of
miles. As I slowed down one time he tried to re-adjust his
footing. He released his grip on the windshield with just one
leg and it was all over, he was gone.

That was a MountainWings Moment.

The wind is our trials.

The windshield is like the word of God.

When we hold on to our "windshield" securely, we are secure.

When things start to settle down we often loosen our grip on
God’s word. We start to rely on our strength and understanding
rather than staying in God’s word. That’s when the trials come
back and catch us unprepared and the trials drag us away.

If we hold firm to God's word, we will be ready for the trials
as they come.

Who's Your Daddy?

Today is National Boss Day. With most, it is not a holiday on
par with Mother's Day. Most don't know (or care) that it's
National Boss Day.

It is extremely important to recognize your boss. Not just the
one who is your immediate supervisor on your job but the REAL
boss of your life.

Who or what controls or highly influences what you do?

Love makes a good boss; jealously and hate makes a bad one.

The desire to help others makes a good boss, greed a bad one.

So many things try to control or boss your life.
Do you let them?

The first few commandments of the ten state that you shall only
have one boss.

So on National Boss Day,

who's your daddy?

Capacity

I was at a funeral in Chicago with a work colleague of mine, Maggie Ocasio.  She commented,

“I've never seen a sign in a cemetery that said FULL.”

Come to think of it, neither had I.


The leech has two suckers that cry out, "More, more!"
There are three other things - no, four! - that are never
satisfied: the grave, the barren womb, the thirsty desert,
the blazing fire. (Prov 30:15-16 NLT)
