Whew!  I just came back from our local radio station to record five 2-3 minute devotional spots that the local pastors take turns doing every couple months.  I Chose to use the texts from Sunday, May 7.  But I still needed one more.  Since I was running behind I went to my archives on my computer to reuse a devotional (I can’t believe I actually did that) and the first one I saw was from 1 Peter 5:7, "Cast your anxieties on him, for he cares for you".  Well, it sounded good to me. So I copied the text into my Word document with my other four devotionals I wrote (Yes, they were new ones).  I hit the print button, scooted across the hall to my secretaries printer, grabbed my papers and drove the 10 miles to the radio station.  I recorded the first four in glorious fashion.  I was flawless and feeling good about myself.  But then my ego came to a screeching halt when I tried to turn to my last page to record my last devotional.  The problem was that I did not have my last page.  Apparently the printer back at church had run out of paper and I did not notice.  So there I stood at the microphone, frozen, with just a hint of panic.  Now what?  Well, I did the only thing a cocky little pastor could do at that moment.  I casted my anxieties on God, because I guess he cares for me.  Actually he does.  I read 1 Peter 5:7 and started talking.  Before I knew it I was done and you know something it was…

I better stop there.  I have been down that road before.  But the ironic thing about this is that I have 1 Peter 5:6-8 taped to my computer screen.  Verse 6 says, "Humble yourselves…".  Yes God, I get the hint and you are right.  Glory be to God and God alone. Amen
