MAX LUCADO
Max Lucado has to be my very favorite inspirational author. His books, especially the one on forgiveness, have helped me through many an uphill climb. Recently I acquired "Traveling Light" a book on the Twenty Third Psalm, my favorite as it probably is yours. It is a marvelous book and I highly recommend it to everyone.

One of the things I like best about Mr. Lucado is his real world way of writing and his incredible sense of humor. With that in mind I am quoting something from the above book that I feel is so true and something we can all think about and relate to.

I am my own shepherd, I am always in need. I stumble from mall to mall and shrink to shrink, seeking relief but never finding it.

I creep through the valley of the shadow of death and fall apart.

I fear everything from pesticides to power lines, and I'm starting to act like my mother

I go down to the weekly staff meeting and am surrounded by enemies. I go home and even my goldfish scowls at me.

I anoint my headache with extra-strength Tylenol.

My Jack Daniels runneth over.

Surely misery and misfortune will follow me, and I will live in self-doubt for the rest of my lonely life.
