How does a person meet the challenges of life, both large and small, on a daily basis?  You wake up in the morning feeling ok about your life and start the day in a hopeful frame of mind.  By sunset someone has kicked your cat, upsetting the apple cart of your fears so that you lie sprawled amongst them gasping for air.  This scenario sometimes plays itself out more than once a day.  Like a roller coaster without defined tracks, life swings along from one hairpin turn to the next gut churning drop and  then on to a steeply exhilarating climb to what seems like the pinnacle of the world.  Then you go to bed that night praying your dreams move a little more sedately than the waking hours.
   Guess what?  The real prize is that we get to start all over again tomorrow.  Learn to celebrate the ride folks.  Hang on to the knowledge that you are part of something bigger than yourself in order to gain perspective.  How you feel right now is not how you are going to feel forever. In fact, 30 minutes from now you will have taken another neck whipping curve on life's roller-coaster that will wipe out the memory of how you felt 30 minutes ago.  Is everybodies life like this?  Maybe there are some poor souls out there who would love a life like this.  God Bless them in what they pray for with his wisdom, not their desires.  Amen.
