3 Things for Survival

I was wondering what to post about today - with a bunch of ideas swirling in my mind and no clear sense of how to prioritize them.  Then I saw a post from my friend Mary Elizabeth and thought, "Well of course...this is the priority."

Here's a snippet:

"I heard a powerful story last week.  About 30 years ago, John McCain spoke to a group of our military’s elite as they prepared for the possibility of becoming a prisoner of war at some point in their careers.  According to the story, McCain shared three things that surviving prisoners of war had in common:

               1) They had a faith in God.        
               2) They believed their country was coming to get them.
               3) They did not put a date on their rescue.

This story has had a profound impact on me as I have reflected on 2012 and think forward to all 2013 will hold...."

To continue reading, follow this link.  I think these three tips apply to whatever type of rescue we need. Have faith. Believe. God is coming.  Hallelujah, even now :)
