One Word

Once in a while I will have a day that defies logic, reason, and common sense. The state of the day is Confusion with a capital C. Less common than the bad day is the bad week, like the one above. That long string of confusion is the names of all the days of the week with their letters rearranged. And that’s the way some days and weeks feel. This level of confusion creates fear, anger, frustration. Just the things that want to take over and take you over the hill. So the question is: when this level of confusion and frustration appears, what can I do? Answers to the question come from all directions, lots of self-help books on lots of shelves. But I offer this answer from the perspective of Christ’s Way. One word: Jesus.

Just saying that name opens a door beyond which is the peace that passes all understanding. The old hymn says: Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, there’s just something about that name. So, the next time you feel like your day or your week looks and feels like that first line above, share the load, renew both yourself and the moment, recognize that right by your side is a spiritual power capable of bringing order out of chaos and peace out of confusion. He waits to be invited. It’s true: there’s just something about that name.
