I read an old article of how an unemployed cleaning woman from St. Louis had noticed a few bees buzzing around the attic of her home. Since there were only a few, she made no effort to deal with them. Over the summer, the bees continued to fly in and out of the attic vent while the woman remained unconcerned, unaware of the growing flock of bees. Yes, I know, bees don’t live in a flock. Evidently, they live in a hive. Anyhow, the whole attic area eventually became a hive, and the ceiling of her second-floor guest bedroom finally caved in under the weight of hundreds of pounds of honey and thousands of angry bees. While the woman escaped serious injury, she was unable to repair the damage of her accumulated neglect.

Craig Groeschel is the pastor of Lifechurch.tv. This is a multi-campus church that reaches several thousand people each week. Craig has written a new book, #struggles. In this book, he asks the question if we are addicted to social media. Are we more impacted by and committed to social media than we are to the One we call our Lord. After eight chapters designed at helping us to see our problem, redirect our attention and refocus our lives, Groeschel listed the Ten Commandments of how a Christian should treat social media. I found this list helpful and thought I would pass it along as a means of helping us to loosen the grip social media has on us, but also as a means of ensuring that our use of social media reflects the relationship with Christ we claim.

Have you ever really though what the word worry means? The definition of the word worry is this: Anxious or troubled about actual or potential problems. I say worry is a burlap bag full ofburdens. It is overflowing with “what ifs” and “how else’s .” What after all our dieting, we find that lettuce is fattening and chocolate isn’t? How will we pay for our children’s tuition to collage? What ifs and how wills is the burlap bag of worries. It is cumbersome, chunky, unattractive and scratchy. Irritating to carry and impossible to give away!

Dear Rusty: I am a 68-year-old retired male and had planned on waiting to collect Social Security benefits beginning at age 70. My wife is currently 53 years old. When I die, would my wife’s spousal benefit at her full retirement age be equal to what I would be receiving at age 70 or be reduced? Also, if I were to die before 70 and before collecting social security, what would be my wife’s survivor benefit at her full retirement age? Signed: Older Husband

WASHINGTON, DC, May 22 -- If you don’t have the heebie-jeebies by now, you soon will if you don’t take precautions during this new era of self-isolation due to the coronavirus pandemic. The anxiety most of us feel for the victims of COVID-19 is exacerbated by the loneliness of the enforced seclusion required to keep ourselves safe.
