I turned 40 a year ago. Weeks before, I sat around moping. It wasn’t pretty. The day before, I went to my chiropractor and expressed my utter disapproval over turning 40, with a quiver in my voice. “It’s better than the alternative,” was all he said. I lay on the table silent. About 2 minutes later he asked, “Did I fix it?” Yep. I came home calm and grateful. I know God is sovereign and loves me. Not one day goes by that wasn’t intentionally designed by my Father. So it was then, that I took a deep breath and exhaled… “I have all good things!”
One year later, I started this blog. “All Good Things” has been the theme for my life. I expect it to stay until I see Jesus. And then for ever more…

James 1:17? 🙂 I always took it to mean every good gift *comes* from above, but just a few days ago realized that it can be interpreted another way. *Every* good gift comes from above. Not just that the good gifts that come are from above, but that they ALL come.

Yes! Our Lord gives us all good. It’s a matter of perspective and one I hold very tightly when trials are so close.
