Practice, Practice, Practice

Practice really does make perfect.   At school, there is something called a drill.  We do it about three times a year.  I have done them for the entire time that I have been teaching, yet we have never had a fire or a tornado to test us.  One day, we had an incident that sent us to the safe area and it worked like clockwork because we had practiced.  Life’s storms also require practice to get through.  You should have safe places to go when life hands you a storm.  It could be church, or a relative’s home or a quiet place in nature, but you need to establish a safe place.  I have churches that I attend when I am in a storm.  Normally, they are very quiet and traditional.  They are always close to my house and I make sure no one knows me.  I can go there and sit in the service without being bothered or asked questions and just soak up the end of sound.  That is my safe place, create a safe place of your own.
