"If the LORD delights in a man's way, he makes his steps firm; though he stumble, he will not fall, for the LORD upholds him with his hand."  Psalm 37:23-24.  What a beautiful promise.  GOD is telling me that I may stumble, but I won't fall.  How woderful can it get!  Being human, I, like most people tend to ignore or belittle the big IF.  God makes many promises and he keeps them, it is we, who fail to hold up our end of the bargain. 
My inbox is flooded with emails promising that I can be rich,  lose weight, defy aging,  become a marketing phenom, and so on...  I bet you get them too.  Some may have validity, but even they come with a big IF.  IF you buy their product and IF you follow their plan.  Being human, I want to have all of that, but I don't want to send them X amount of dollars to learn their "secret".  I know the secret already...commit my ways to the LORD and keep on trudging along.  I can't expect good things to just fall out of the sky, I've got to work at it.  So do you!
Have a wonderful day!

ps.  The reception at the Art Market Gallery went great.  Rain, sleet, snow...the proverbial 'winter mix" had wrecked havoc all day, but the sky cleared for the evening and the crowds came.  Thanks to everyone who braved the frigid temperatures to come out. My features will hang through the month.
