Under God Or Underdog?
When we place ourselves under God’s authority, we are not putting ourselves in the position of the underdog (one at a disadvantage and expected to lose).

WD-40 For The Soul
It is said that one can fix anything with duct tape and WD-40, although a big hammer helps as well.
On a side note, it is surprising to know that one of the things duct tape is not to be used on is a furnace duct. The name actually comes from the canvas it is made from, not from what it is intended to be used for.

Why do bad things happen to good people? That is the age-old question. What are some of the answers people give?
- God is trying to teach us something.
