Wednesday, February 13, 2008 - Out of the mouths of babes...

Recently we went to the ABWE All Brazil conference in Gramado, Rio Grande Do Sul.

During the landing approach to Porto Alegre the wheels on the 737 popped out like they are supposed to but gave that awful bump/noise as they did.

Karina (9), overly dramatic, wide-eyed, and a bit startled shouted “What was THAT!”

Daniel (6), calmly sitting next to her said, “Karina I don’t know what that was, and it was scary.  But God is good, and He loves us, and we don’t have to be afraid.”

Several times since the conference those words have echoed through my head at times when things have happened that are truly not able to be processed on a rational level.  “God is good, He loves me, and I don’t have to be afraid.”  There is a lot to be said for the power of simple faith in the big facts that control our lives.  Mac
