Sometimes I love surprises… That is, “when” they land in my own favor and advantage. For example, a short while back my hubby brought me home a white rose with baby’s breath. It was totally unexpected because it wasn’t my birthday or anniversary. It was certainly a nice, little surprise. Some surprises aren’t so delightful. They feel like life just threw you a huge curve ball and landed painfully in your gut. The unexpected can cause havoc and make you feel that life’s spinning out of control.

My Favorite Christian Books: Some Things I’ve Learned by Curtis Hutson Today’s Topic: Take Good Care of Your Health (pp. 113-116) About the book: “Acquiring wisdom takes time.

In our modern day with all the technology, we are very anxious to have things at our disposal “NOW.” And we want our prayers answered FAST, in the same way we make and serve “instant” mashed potatoes.
