Lifehacker is a cool website. Learn anything from keeping a home inventory to patching drywall to hiding electronic cords to doing computer hacks. It makes everything we need to know sound simple and doable.
Sometimes we wish there was a Lifehacker.com for life questions. What if we could just punch in a website and have the future solved or the past resolved, with all its messy relationships, failures, and "If only..."s?
God goes one better. The cross covers the past, present, and future, but teaches us from our mistakes. The selective amnesia of being forgiven means we can learn and grow, do better next time, love more, and serve with heart. Our scriptural instruction manual may give principles for most situations, rather than hard-and-fast rules.
But isn't living more fun - as well as more scary and more adventurous! - with so much freedom to experience life, holding the hand of God?
