Just Too Many Mosquitoes!

Here's a bit of trivia for you: Do you know how many mosquitoes there are in the world per person (Keep in mind that there are almost 7 billion people on our planet)? 100?  1000? 10,000?  Nope! There are a whopping 144,000 of these blood-sucking insects for every man, woman and child on earth! That's more than "one-too-many" of these nagging pests!

Now when it comes to the difficulties that we must face in life, mosquitoes, as irritating as they can be at times, they can be managed. But what of those much larger troubles that come our way? How do we handle them? And, if we are going to truly love our neighbor as we love ourselves, how do we help others to endure the tough times?  Much too often, we tend to avoid those who are suffering. Why? Because we just don't know what to say ... or we are afraid of saying the wrong thing. If this is true of you, let me suggest you take a minute or two to read an excellent article by Ed Welch titled, "What not to say to those who are suffering." It's a good read!
