My friend Joel


Today I watched a bit of Joel Osteen on TV. It was about expecting good, expecting good, and expecting good. I don't know what to do with this sort of stuff...First off, I feel myself being skeptical of him b/c he's famous and rich. Secondly, my heart wants to expect good everywhere, but knows that expectations often bring me to a faith crisis. This is one of the scriptures he mentioned:


Surely he will never be shaken; a righteous man will be remembered forever.
He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.


Psalm 112:6-7


For real?? What is it like to not fear bad news? To not fear that the ambulance could be my grandpa or that my husband was in a car crash, or that I'm barren! Hmmm...
