"Today’s Friday the 13th. So what?"

Okay, so today’s Friday the 13th. If you are afraid, you may suffer from paraskavedekatriaphobia .

But let’s think about it for just a second: somewhere tonight in a backyard, a little boy catches his first firefly. His grandfather teaches him to catch a lot of them and put them in a jar. His mother catches an early flight home from a business trip and arrives in town just before bedtime as the little guy is putting the jar under his bed. She tells him the story of how she did the same thing when she was a little girl...with the same man. 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!" A mother births her first child today…and they’re both just fine. 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.
