"Today’s Friday the 13th. So what?"

Okay, so today’s Friday the 13th. If you are afraid, you may suffer from paraskavedekatriaphobia (http://www.didyouknow.org/phobias/phobias.htm.).

But let’s think about it for just a second: somewhere tonight on a baseball field in the U.S., a high school pitcher throws his first shutout. And his mother catches an early flight home from a business trip and arrives in town just in time for the start of the game. Earlier today, she landed a huge contract with a client she had negotiated with for three months. Today is a lucky day in their family, isn’t it?

And let’s think about it for another second: some guy somewhere tonight will ask the girl of his dreams to marry him…and she’ll say, "Yes!" Heart surgery will save someone’s life today. A publishing company will accept a proposal for a writer’s first book today. It’s a lucky day for these people.

Life goes on just as usual today. Separate the fact from fiction, the reality from the fantasy today as you listen to life and make a life, not just a living. And remember: God is with you even on Friday the 13th.
