Life. Huh. It is hard not to label things, situations. Oh, that is bad. Oh, that is good. We don’t really know if what we call bad might not be really good. Hey, voice of experience here. Often, what I thought was the worst decision, the worst situation, in my life, turned out to be my greatest gift. Likewise, the opposite. Uh huh, both ways. Wait and see. Arrgh. Easy for you to say.

2 Corinthians 12:7-10 Out our way, reasoning with jug-headed cows and mule-headed horses is considered a waste of time. You can train a horse up to point and some are pretty sharp. Ole Doc didn't need much help - except he never could get the hang of his left lead - but, every now and then, he had to be "educated" as to who was boss. Now, there was a time when some - I will presume they were city folks from back East - started making headlines by claiming the wearing of spurs...
(See Habakkuk 2:1-2) It's a vivid picture: A walled city in vast, open countryside. A tower high above from which one can see all around. Is the enemy approaching or is that a band of shepherds? Is that solitary traveler a saint or a spy? The prophet Habakkuk says he is like one who stands watch.
