Not Biting, Keys
by Mike Gerry
The unfortunate part of fishing is that we all find days when the fish just won’t cooperate. There
are many reasons, and it happens to us all. The reasons are many, the solutions are few and
sometimes there is just not a good solution, but you have to be persistent!
Choose You
by Teresia Smith
Life is really hard sometimes. There’s no denying that truth. It’s impossible to live a life without enduring some level of hardship or adversity. The past few years have been very peculiar and somewhat overwhelming to many as people have experienced job loss or financial insecurity, fear of sickness, loss of loved ones, loneliness brought on by isolation, food shortages, anxiety from world events, and just a fear of the unknown. This scary and uncertain time can allow worry to seep into our everyday life and fill us with unhappiness. Sometimes, with so much to deal with, just getting up each day can feel like a chore. How can we find our resilience and rediscover our joy?
That You May Not Sin
by Sarah Wootten Corinth Missionary Baptist Church
If you looked through my wardrobe, it’s likely that you would make some wrong assumptions about me. For instance, I have an Auburn sweatshirt. If you saw me at the grocery store and greeted me with a loud “War Eagle,” I would probably stare at you in utter confusion. Why would you greet me like that? Or maybe you would find my plethora of 5k and marathon t-shirts. You might think that I’m a runner, but the reality is that I look for excuses to skip cardio day. I’ve never ran a 5k and certainly not a marathon. My clothing isn’t always an accurate indicator of me.
