A More Than Survival Guide

When the world’s leonine roardeafens and devours youWhen your thoughts have curdled intoa damp and sour massAnd when you can’t beat awayOld-Bible-150x150those buzzing gnats around you,Remember: cumulonimbusis just another name for gas. So don’t cower, dig your feet in.Never give your ground.Also prepare: buy bug spray,saltine crackers, ear plugsThese are helpful.  Umbrellaswill never be around.So when treacly tar glops out of the skiesDrink! - let life be your only drug. The Bible has taught me that the world is broken, and sometimes, it really does feel as if life is just some terrible struggle to survive.  But I don't think the Bible is about survival.  The Bible tells me that the world is broken, but that it is still beautiful and that it can still be great - and that’s why the Bible is not about survival.  It’s about making every moment count.
