7 Ways I’ve Learned To Manage Fear
I was working through my daily reading list when this headline, “STATS: Americans ‘snapping’ by the millions…” caught my eye on drudgereport.com. My first thought was this might be something related to the recent bombings at the Boston Marathon. As I continued to read it was clear that the commentary had a political angle, but putting that aside, I could not stop thinking about the deeper issues outlined in the article.
“Of course, at the nuclear core of the myriad assaults on traditional America is the rejection of God and repudiation of the Judeo-Christian values that underpin Western civilization. This in turn has led to pervasive societal disintegration and a Pandora’s Box of almost unimaginable problems.”i
Why Do Bad Things Happen And Why Does God Allow It?
Once again this nation has come under attack. But for me and many others it’s right on our back doorstep, this time it happened in Boston. The Boston Marathon is a special day for celebrating everything that is good about Boston, its a day where the city opens up its arms and welcomes runners from around the world. It’s a day where they are part of our community for a day.
Sadly what started out to be a beautiful day with excitement and anticipation of who would win the marathon, tragedy struck.
Mark Twain
The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.
