It works every time! When I ask God to keep me from evil... I'm not asking him to give me a powerful whip or a 4 legged chair, I'm asking him to give me the good sense to always remember it's not worth any of my energy to get into the cage (or whatever evil I'm presented with).<BR/><BR/>~ DawnDawn Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10929060131642643612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13946500.post-4378657879402823512007-02-21T09:30:00.000-08:002007-02-21T09:30:00.000-08:00Lion poop or not, a reminder to focus on the most ...Lion poop or not, a reminder to focus on the most important things is always in order.

We are so afraid to fail, that we're afraid to give up what is comfortable, even if it isn't necessarily what we want, or what is good for us.
