"Faith is a bird that loves to perch on scarecrows. All our fears are unfounded." Scarecrows are merely as advertisement. Scarecrows try to keep us from life and obedience and blessing.

When I read this anonymous quote a while back, I thought how true it is. Some many things and people will try to get us off track, and often we are our own dis-tractors, by being too concerned with how we are perceived. Ultimately, the only one we need to please is God, and the only thing we need be concerned (not fear) is making bad choices that may disappoint Him, ourselves or our loved ones. God always loves us, has paid for every sin we have or may commit, all we need do is accept and believe that fact and try to do better on our journey than the day before.

Be quick to ask forgiveness, quick to forgive others and move on.
