Sitting around the dining table last night we started reminiscing about olden times. There’s not enough time to share all we talked about, but it went hand-in-glove with the day’s thoughts of Father, church, remember, and blessings.

I’ll share this thought later as time permits.

But I went to sleep with the title of an old rock song by an old rock group who will be performing at the state fair this summer. Doobie Brothers. What a fool believes. It’s a sad song of believing in second chances. Believe it all you want and the facts never change.

But what a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away

Co-written by Kenny Loggins and Michael McDonald (lead of the Doobie Brothers), it makes me think of the difficulty of beating a dead horse, living with false hope, and believing in the impossible.

No wise man has the power to reason away your beliefs. You are stuck in that past, and still hoping for future success.

It was Jesus that gives the real hope.

When His disciples heard it, they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?” But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Matthew 19:25-26 NKJV

What do you believe?
