Hi people of Peace!
I remember reading the “choose your own adventure” books. Do you remember them? You’d be reading along and the bottom of the page said: if the character does one thing, turn to page 53. If the character does something else, turn to page 68. And it was up to you to decide.
I remember feeling time and again like the story ended in catastrophe - captured, lost, or worst dead. Total failure.
Then I would go back and try to find the ending that ended in success. Sometimes I would work my way backwards until I succeeded. Sometimes, there was nothing but failure.
Kind of like life.
Things fail. They come to an end. The death rate is still 1 out of 1.
The Bible is honest too that this is the way our stories end. And there is only one way to get a different end to our stories.
Want a different end to your story? Check out “The Final Failure” this week.
See you Sunday at 9 or 10:30!
