Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds! Because of your great power, your enemies cringe before you.
(Psalm 66.2 NRSV)

We are all familiar with MURPHY'S LAW, "If anything can go wrong it will." Murphy's Law is the inspiration for a new book by Paul Dickson, titled THE OFFICIAL RULES AT HOME. Here is a sample of laws, rules, and observations collected by Dickson:

Rabbe's Rule of the Bedroom: The spouse who snores louder always falls asleep first.

Dickson's Gardening Discovery: When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.

Dorthy's Dilemma: The heavier the package and the farther you must carry it, the more your nose itches.

Todd's Rule of Bar Code Malfunction: The bar code in the checkout line won't work on items you're embarrassed to be buying.

Rosenbaum's Rule: The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement. Some people say Murphy was an optimist. It is amazing how wrong things can go sometimes.

Bad things happen. Things go wrong, but God is always walking with us in hope and love.
