Creeps, Freaks, and "Hi, Garland."




It helps to be able to calmly size up a situation --- see through the fog, cut away the fiction, and take in a big breath of reality and then address the situation --- "Hi, Garland."

Some believers think that we can't be realists and still show great faith.

Do we have to pretend that everything is OK for everything to ultimately BE OK?

No, we don't have to be pitifully pious or have a silly "Praise God Anyway" grin on our face to face our difficulties as a believer.

We should always be willing to call a spade a spade and still believe that there is a God, He is in control, and we can trust Him even when we are surrounded by the dark and seem to have no hope. He has already proven Himself . . . we can believe that He is with us even now.
