I was told my good bud Chris Allman was quite deep this morning when coming into the office. And no, its not the normal \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Chris is in deep trouble.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\nChris actually said something deep.
\nAt least we can be certain that he didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t write it in his column.
\nAnyways, when asked how his day was going, Chris responded, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Everyday you come to work and you have things you worry about. And everyday you have things you just don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t worry about anymore.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\nThings have been quite hectic all around me and I see people running around with their heads cut off. But why? Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t they realize that at any moment something else can come along and will change everything?
\nWhat was so important yesterday has lost all it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s relevance today.
\nThis past weekend I took part in a Disciple Now in Murphy, Texas.
\nMy friend, the youth pastor, began to describe the group to us before the weekend began — I thought I was listening to the latest WWE storyline or daytime Emmy nominee.
\nSo many hurts and frustrations over losing a boyfriend or a girlfriend in Jr. High. Who cares?!
\nOK. Maybe that wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t the best way to minister to a group of lost and confused Jr. Highers and High Schoolers, but seriously, how many of us are still dating our Jr. High sweetheart?
\nWhat was important to me in college really doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t even matter today. The things that I worried about yesterday, are really not a concern for me today either.
\nA computer crash at 2 in the morning, a server crash at 3. Today that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s all history. What good did worrying and stressing out about it do me yesterday?
\nVanity of vanities, all is vanity.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these… So do not worry, saying, \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcWhat shall we eat?\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 or \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcWhat shall we drink?\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 or \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcWhat shall we wear?\u00e2\u20ac\u2122… Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
