Do you know who I am? I am the electrician in this plant; I have been for 32 years. I don’t need you to tell me how to do my job. I know what I am doing. Now, you get out of my way, go stand by your machine operator and I will have you back to work in few minutes . . .

Easy Street
Christians are not immune to adopting the Easy Street philosophy. The vast majority of us desire (and subconsciously expect?) to live problem-free lives. I mean if we walk with God, He should certainly keep His dear children from ever skinning a knee or any difficulties, right?
