Why the title "There is a better way"?

Well here I am. My first blog! This is something I've wanted to do for years, but FINALLY it has come to pass. Where's the champagne?!
I guess for my first post I should at least explain why I chose this title for my blog.
When I was a boy of 9 or 10 years old, my family lived in St. Louis, MO. A large bank there called Boatman's Bank was running an extensive marketing campaign during that time. At the end of each of their commercials there was a tag line that was sung. It was female voice simply singing the words, "There is a better way". The idea of there being a better way of doing things infatuated me. What if I looked at life that way? Well, that's pretty much been a theme of my life since. I tend to look at any situation with an attitude of:
"There is a better way... now, let's find it!"

It Won't Rain Always


Winter is dragging on here in Indiana. I must say that the older I get the less I enjoy it. I'm trying to stay positive despite the continual cycle of snow, extreme cold, rain and then it begins all over again. This year I think God decided to refresh our memories as to what a traditional Indiana Winter is really supposed to look like. We have been spoiled. The last several Winters have been very mild....VERY mild. But this one is here, and here to stay! Well, it won't stay. It will go away. Which makes me think of a southern Gospel song I heard years ago.

IT WON'T RAIN ALWAYS
Bill & Gloria Gaither, Aaron Wilburn

Someone said that in each life some rain is bound to fall
And each one sheds his share of tears
And trouble troubles us all
But the hurt can't hurt forever
And the tears are sure to dry

And it won't rain always
The clouds will soon be gone
The sun that they've been hiding has been there all along
And it won't rain alwaysGod's promises are true
The sun's gonna shine in His own good time
And He will see you through
