In this Vast and Troubled World ........

George Gershwin composed a musical number in 1930s that has been covered by so many artists over the years. The lyrics have evolved from the words written by Gershwin's brother, Ira during the Depression, but "I've Got Rhythm" has maintained it's popularity even today!
The version release in the '60s by The Happenings begins with the phrase,
"In this vast and troubled world we sometimes lose our way.
But I am never lost! I feel this way because....."

So, now that we find ourselves in that trouble world, how would YOU finish that line?

The choice is in your hands! Life is guaranteed to dish out challenges. Without them we could not learn and overcome, growing with each step. Or we could accept these challenges as stumbling blocks, prohibiting our success and happiness! God will never present these challenges without including a solution, not as a giftwrapped answer, but as a path to follow!

"Who could ask for anything more?"
