Amphibian Ark

Yesterday’s paper reported that a global fungus is threatening total extinction of all frogs. This is not a joke. A network called the Amphibian Ark is mobilizing zoos everywhere to provide safe shelter for all known species of frogs to keep them alive while a solution can be found for the fungus. Just think how we’d suffer from insects if the frogs went the way of the dinosaurs! So it got me thinking about our motto, FROG, Fully Rely On God—and the fungi that threaten FROGging. This, too, is not a joke. I thought of a few:
Self-reliance (I can figure this out by myself.)
Bitterness (God “let me down” in the past; why would I rely on Him now?)
Carelessness (letting my mind slip into anxious patterns)
Poor spiritual nutrition (neglecting God’s words)

Let’s get a conversation going. I’m sure you can come up with some “fungi” that block full reliance on God. Scroll on down to the bottom of this posting to “Comments,” click on that word, and add your thoughts. You may sign in as Anonymous if you prefer. After a few days I’ll collect everyone’s suggestions and create an “Amphibian Ark” for faith.

Sorry to be so late today. We’re at Myrtle Beach with my brother Phil and his wife Nancy, and we have to drive to a place where we can get online. We plan to go to church Sunday morning, so if I post at all it’ll be late again. It’s so beautiful here, with a view of the ocean beach right out our window. The sun is shining, and it’ll be a good day for walking the beach (bundled up, of course). The best thing is being with family.

Have a great weekend.
