“Courage is fear that has said it’s prayers.”
We’ve all known fear, been introduced to this debilitating factor in life and had to try to figure out what to do with it. How to become a lion rather than a sheep. How to be bold rather than reticent.

He
was called a fool and worse than that. He was one of the greatest
architects of his time and he had chosen to float a hotel on a
sixty-foot bed of soft mud eight feet below the surface of the ground.
He knew it was inevitable that earthquakes would come. He did not go into denial. He admusted in advance to the turmoil that was only as far away as whatever time it would happen.
And when the worst earthquake in fifty two years came he and his Imperial Hotel were ready for it.
In like manner, it is well when we prepare for the inevitability of challenges that will come our way. To pray about them even though we cannot be specific about what they may be.

Who’s in control?
God is. Therefore,
“Thy will be done” admits and accepts that He is wiser and so are we
when we acquiest. It takes a special kind of courage to do that. To flow
rather than fight.
A love and trust in God that cast out fear.
My son is a sailor. He has long loved the sea. He is well versed in how to handle a storm. He is a man of God who daily goes to the maritime school of God so that when the storms of life come…he will be prepared there as well.

Flow with the will and way and wisdom of God rather than fight. It always comes back to this.

Psalm 18:2
"The
LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in
whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my
stronghold.”
The wicked flee when no one pursues,
but the righteous are bold as a lion.—Proverbs 28:1

Serialization of another book SIXTY PLUS AND NOT HOLDING
This book, SIXTY PLUS AND NOT HOLDING, is about dealing positively with the challenges of getting older and fosters the belief that “If we would have new knowledge, we must get a world of new questions.” (Susanne K. Langer)
MANY OF THE IDEAS IN THIS BOOK FOR BETTER LIVING ARE GOOD FOR ANY AGE.
“I am come that they (you) may have life and have it to the full. (John 10:10)
Anyone who lives long enough gets older. There are no other options. How we handle the adventure is filled with options.
Keep both eyes on life, and not on the calendar. Admit your age, but don’t admit to the fallacy that you have to act like it. Saying, “I’m 39 and holding,” is more tragic than humorous because it argues that age has no attributes.

Below a quote from it…
“Be
like the farmer who, when asked what he was building, replied, “if I
can rent it, it’s a rustic cottage. If I can’t, it’s a cow shed.”
It’s called attitude and it can make us prematurely old or longer young. For truly, things aren’t just what they are, but rather how we choose to see them.”

A quote below from tomorrow’s ONE A DAY blog entitled HOW TO CONQUER YOUR CONFUSIONS.
“In the race of life stumbling comes easy, even to the point of falling.
Facing this inevitability is important. But then comes the challenge of giving in or praying up, of becoming victims of other people’s bitter attitudes or rewarding ourselves by hungering after God and beauty like the child called “us” once did.”
