1) In 2004, a book that changed the course of the world as we know it was published. I am sure that people are thinking that this has to do with DNA, Quantum Physics, or the Operating Systems of future technologies. Other people are likely thinking that this has to be connected to the Dead Sea Scrolls or some other significant impacting material from a religious, cultural, or sociological perspective. Wow! So, so wrong. It was a book written by Robert Fulghum. The title? All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten.

2) I beg your pardon. I never promised you a rose garden. Along with the sunshine. There’s going to be a little rain sometimes. And when we walk out of our homes. And we observe all that is taking place around us. We conclude the same things the kids used to say in the 1970s. Man, this stuff is really heavy. What does that mean for us Bible-believing Christians? It means that there is such a great weight in society. That it is creating anxiety, pressure, and uncertainty. God offers the solution to the heaviness. Consider Ezra (9) and Daniel (9-10).
