This week. The cures of the Gospel continued


Worry! The makers of "Tums" and "Rolaids" make a fortune out of worry; a worry that stops short of a heart attack but that gets the juices bubbling and causes insomnia, often about events that never happen.

Blaise Pascal said:
"Many terrible things have happened in my life, most of which never took place!"

Worry is like rocking on the porch. Close your eyes and you think you are going somewhere. Open them and you haven't moved.

When the apostle Paul wrote in Philippians: " Worry about nothing." he also gave the antidote.

 "But in everything with prayer and thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God."

This week tell the negative committee that meets in your head to sit down, be quiet and listen to the choir!

Enjoy a worry free day.
