Surrounded

You are my hiding place;
You shall preserve me from trouble;
You shall surround me with songs of deliverance.

Psalm 32:7 (NKJV)

I read Psalm 32 this morning before reading this (which is why I chose to read Psalm 32):

Flying into a storm is a dangerous experience. The temptation is to fly by your instincts, or, as aviators say, “by the seat of your pants.” But as any pilot will tell you, that’s a prescription for disaster. If you rely on your feelings and instincts, you become disoriented….

We all face storms that threaten to confuse and disorient us. […] When you are blinded by life’s disappointments, don’t trust your instincts. Flying by the seat of your pants in the storms of life can lead to despair, confusion, and vengeful responses that make matters worse.

Read the rest: Instincts

I need that. Do you?

Georgia: Peachy for Life

A poll shows Georgia is the most pro-life state in the union, indicating that 57% of voters favor the overthrow of Roe vs. Wade.

This is roughly ___ points above the next nearest state polled.

How many percentage points do you think Georgia is ahead of the next nearest state? (I was surprised.)

Here’s the opening paragraph of the source story:

On July 20th of this year, the voters in over forty-five Georgia counties, representing all thirteen Congressional Districts, will have an opportunity to answer the pressing question of when life begins. Appearing on the July 20th Primary ballot is the following poll, “Do you support an amendment to the Georgia state constitution so as to provide that the paramount right to life is vested in each human being from the earliest biological beginning until natural death?”

Source: Coming to a Ballot Near You: When Does Life Begin?

Whether or not you vote in Georgia, pray for God-honoring, life-supporting results.

(Isn’t Georgia the peach state?)

Let’s Boggle!

That’s an l in the title; not an i.

Time for another from-real-life round Boggle. As usual, this is one played in real life by three Roths an evening back in April:

Our seventh game of Boggle
Playing this game will may keep your mind young(er)!

Here’s my usual reminder of how we play the game here at Ain’t Complicated:

  1. Minimum word length: four letters
  2. No plurals created by adding s
  3. Maximum words per player per day: five
  4. No time limit
  5. Only what you can see

Item 5 means do not use online sources to generate words. This rule applies only for the first two days of the game.

Remember, please: Five words per player per day.

(And tell me: Why is this post in the Health category?)

Socks. Blessed Right Off?

Yesterday morning the folks at Master Books Homeschool posted this question:

How is God blessing your socks off today?

So I took a photo of me:

Mark Roth's socked feet
Blessed?

I actually have a caption superior to that one, but maybe you’ll come up with it on your own.

Yeah, that’s right — if you have a good caption, please post it as a comment below. Especially if it answers the question.

Or if you would rather just answer the question, that would be great as well.

Private
Above all, love God!
