The new car is fantastic. Life is frail and I fret. It is a gnawing wearing away. It makes me realize how tender it all is. Five miles an hour too fast on the Dead River curve and a life can be changed in an instant.
Faith is the only comfort.
Not a rabbit foot faith that nothing bad will ever happen if I pray hard enough. God is not to be manipulated by my effort. This is safety beyond all understanding. It tells me that whenever we roll our lives, God is there with a new option, a new path, and at the last, a new life. For me a life without faith would gnaw me away.
