about our dream home, our dream job, and some of us even daydream. When

we imagine the future, we generally wish for the pleasant and the good. 

But life is often uncooperative.  We get sick, we lose our job, we

fight with those we love, and some days we just feel blue.  In fact,

real life differs from our dreams because we don’t dream messy, but life

is messy.  The question is not whether you can attain your dreams, it

is how you will deal with the messes that show up in life.  Proverbs has

something to say to us about responding to the mess.
