It's Just a Hard Day's Night

 Sometimes - 

life is just hard.

No particular reason.  Really, everything is almost exactly the same as it has been for the past 15 years.

Of course someone is missing now but that just means one less person to talk to face to face when life is hard.

And when you stop and think about it, not having that one familiar face - or two - around just means one has no other choice but to rely upon a God of their understanding, a God that cares intimately about them and their well being.

I have great pity for those who deny the existence of God.  The color of the sky in their world is different from mine. 

Tonight, the color is kind of grayish-blue, but that's not bad.  It means that when the sun sets, the sky will be a beautiful purple, the color of royalty.

Sometimes - 

life is just hard.

Shoulder the burden, ask for help carrying it, keep walking....
