Take Life as It Comes
The only way we can come to terms with reality—is by trusting God, regardless. No ifs, ands, or buts.
If I am a farmer and God allows a flood to come and wash away my crops or God chooses to give me the beautiful season rains and a bumper crop, I trust Him and I give Him praise.
If I am in an industry or some profession and someone throws me a curve and God allows my whole world to be reversed, I trust Him and I give Him praise.
I take life as it occurs. I don't waste time in the pit of doubt. Nor do I worry over crop failures and strikeouts.

The Object of God's Concern
Psalm 62:1
I've had times when I've found myself wondering about the things I've believed and preached for years. What happened? Had God died?
No. My vision just got a little blurry. My circumstances caused my thinking to get a little foggy. I looked up, and I couldn't see Him as clearly.
That's what happened to John Bunyan back in the seventeenth century in England. He preached against the godlessness of his day, and the authorities shoved him into prison....
'Randomness and chaos': The invisible, unpredictable forces behind fatal rockfall
Scientist Daniel Shugar says images of the aftermath of Thursday's deadly rockslide in Banff National Park provide evidence of its cause — water flowing through the interior of the mountain.
“You can actually see some springs coming out of the cliff and actually coming out exactly from the scar itself,” said the University of Calgary professor of geomorphology.
He described how water from a lake above the cliff at Bow Glacier Falls had been seeping through rocks for decades before it eventually provided enough force to dislodge a boulder, triggering the rockfall.
Banff National Park rockfall victim identified as retired university educator
One of the two people killed in a rockfall in Banff National Park has been identified as 70-year-old Jutta Hinrichs of Calgary.
The University of Alberta, in a statement, says Hinrichs was an educator in the department of occupational therapy in the Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine.
She retired last summer.
Her body was found shortly after a slab of mountain suddenly gave way Thursday afternoon, collapsing on hikers at a popular trail near Bow Glacier Falls, about 200 kilometres northwest of Calgary.

A 70-year-old woman from Calgary was first found dead at the site of Thursday's rock slide at Bow Glacier Falls, north of Lake Louise.
Three others were taken to hospital and were reported in stable condition.
