I have a game on my phone that I love to play. It's one of these games where you match certain items to level up. You get five lives to play. If you win the level, you move up. If you lose the level, you lose a life; after losing five lives, you have to wait to get more lives. One time I was playing on my last life, I only had a couple moves left and I was about to lose. I have been stuck on this level for a week and was tired of playing it. Knowing I couldn't beat the level, I was about to just give up. Then I noticed I had a lifeline. I could 'clear a row' which would get me much closer to winning. I decided to use my lifeline. I won-finally.
We live life the same way.
We begin to struggle with a situation and we don't see a way out. We are so close to just giving up. Why live for God when everything keeps going bad? Why keep trying to save the marriage when nothing helps? Why keep trying to discipline the kids when they keep disrespecting? Why keep trying at anything when nothing ever goes right?

With so much junk on TV for kids these days, I always have my eyes open for wholesome entertainment. Recently we discovered The Dead Sea Squirrels and it's so much fun!
The Dead Sea Squirrels, from the co-creator of Veggie Tales and voice of Larry the Cucumber Mike Nawrocki, is a series about a pair of squirrels who have been petrified in sea salt and stuck in a Dead Sea cave for 2,000 years. Along comes 10 year-old Michael who smuggles the squirrels home from his dad's archeological dig.
The squirrels wake up and are ready to dive into the 21st century. Turns out they love sharing the lessons they learned first-hand from Jesus' teachings in their own nutty way! Each episode not only entertains kids, but helps the find a connection to the Bible.
The music for Dead Sea Squirrels will have your kids singing along! With artists like Matthew West, Bart Millard, Elle Holcomb, Mac Powell, and more, you'll even be singing along.
