Well said! Reminds me of the Mercy Me song, “Even If.”

“But God, when You choose

To leave mountains unmovable

Oh give me the strength to be able to sing

It is well with my soul”

Keep bringing the encouragement.

Jack, your honesty is always refreshing! Moving in the right direction we have the Lord at our side to guide us, and help us face our fears. Hugs

Solid and challenging, Jack... may not like to face the baseball but you have the courage to tackle some tough topics here and otherwise. :)

If only I’d known about all of the metaphorical baseballs I’d be hit with as an adult, those real ones wouldn’t have worried me so much….

This truth is so, so needed in believers’ lives today! The “If You can” is not our struggle but rather the “If You will.” I think this is one of your best articles yet! Thank you!
